INTER-HOUSE SEVEN-A-SIDE RUGGER SEMI-FINALS. CLIFTON RISE v. TEMPLE HOUSE.

Played on the Grove Field on March 27th.

The game started with a fairly easy try for the Rise in the first few minutes. After this the Rise showed that they were an infinitely superior team, although Temple House fought hard to get points.

The Rise then scored several times before the half-time whistle went.

During the second half the Temple attack was very strong, but Ping, the Rise captain, did a lot to frustrate them.

The final whistle went with the score: Clifton Rise 17 points, Temple House nil.

CLIFTON RISE v. SCHOOL HOUSE.

Played on the Grove Field on March 29th.

From the beginning both sides attacked strongly, though the Rise seemed to get into their stride more quickly than the House. After about four minutes' play of fierce forward struggle on the House try-line, Ping went over near the flag to score for the Rise.

There was no further score when the half-time whistle went.

The second half was much the same as the first, a dingdong battle being fought.

About three minutes from the end Rimmer, intercepting a pass, ran through the Rise defence to score a magnificent try under the Rise posts. G. E. L. Graham converted it with a good kick. After a furious attack by the Rise to regain the lead the final whistle went to give School House the victory by one goal to one try. 42
