SCHOOL 1sT XV v. NORTH RIBBLESDALE. Played at Settle, October 12th. Result : —School, 17 pts ; Ribblesdale, 12 pts. The School opened the season with a fine victory over North Ribblesdale after a strenuous game at Settle. The School were slow to wake up, and within the first five minutes a Ribblesdale forward scored a somewhat lucky try after a clever dribble by the left wing, Dinsdale. The School replied keenly, and the School backs outclassed those of the home team. The forwards heeled from a loose scrum, and Hollington slung out a long pass to Stead, who passed to Douglas to score a magnificent try after running through and evading numberless tackles. The School settled down to attack steadily and a quick heel and a cut through by Watson sent Douglas over again. The School were disorganised by injury to Watson, who disappeared into the pack to be replaced by Newman, whose determined tackling was a feature of the game. Further tries were added before half-time by Lupton and Douglas. With the score 12-3 to the School the XV anticipated a wide margin of victory, but in this they were disappointed. Ribblesdale went away with a rush after half-time and were soon rewarded with a try. The School replied with a try by Douglas, which was well converted by Lockwood. The home team did most of the attacking during the second half, but they only succeeded in piercing the defence twice. The tackling throughout was strong, while the forwards held a heavy and lively pack well, Baines being outstanding. Team : —K. Lockwood ; A. W. Douglas, D. W. Watson, J. W. Stead, D. Lund ; C. A. Smart, J. R. Hollington ; P. N. Baines, B. J. Eastwood, J. B. Dixon, R. M. Deas, I. A. Campbell, N. A. Newman, I. L. Lupton, D. McLean.
