The final between Rise and Temple started with the Rise absolutely on top. From the bully-off they launched an attack which was nearly successful, Dodsworth clearing from the circle. For the next ten minutes they were continually attacking until the Temple defence gradually gave way, and the Rise scored their first goal through Gaitskell, who had followed up a shot which had been stopped by the goalkeeper and before the latter had time to clear had flicked it into the net. Two minutes later Washington, who had been playing a good game, ended up another attack by scoring a second goal for the Rise. Play became even after that, and half-time came with the Rise leading by two goals. The second half was slower than the first. The Rise attack grew weaker, although they still had plenty of opportunities to score, but their defence was still strong, with J. C. Robson as a tower of might before the goal. Temple improved this half, and with the return of Ward, who had had to retire injured during the first half, they finished a scrimmage in the circle by scoring their only goal. Until the final whistle blew play changed from one end of the field to the other, with little excitement for the spectators. For the Rise, Robson (J. C.), Washington, Camfield and Shepherd played well, and Dodsworth, Ward and Newdick played well for Temple.
THE JUNIOR SCHOOL.
Easter Term, 1943, has been especially remarkable for the exceptionally fine weather we have enjoyed. Very few games days had to be " called off," and out-of-door activities were not spoilt by snow or rain. We had one spell of illness early in the term; a mild form of " flu " beset nearly half the School, but, we are glad to say, most boys quickly recovered without ill-effects. One thing has been disappointing, we have not been able to have any matches with other schools. Difficulties of transport, and illness at other schools, absolutely prevented any arrangements. In general, however, we have had a good term; work has been carried on; the Cubs, Scouts, and the Stamp Club have all done well. We should like to express real thanks to Mr. Walshaw and to Mr. Nix for the great amount of time they have given to us. The Aero Club held a grand competition towards the end of term for solid models, and there was a very large entry. For entirely home-made models, the results (with prizes) were :-1, S. Bland (a Spitfire) ; 2, B. Lee (a Fortress) ; 3, N. Ward (a Douglas-Havoc). For " kit " models-1, C. D. Goode (a Westland Lysander) ; 2, M. Dawson (a Rota). 42
