v. AMPLEFORTH COLLEGE Played away on Saturday, 21st November. Lost 3-22.

This match, unlike so many of its predecessors on the Ampleforth battle field, was one long chapter of errors in the first half, which gave the School little chance of getting to grips with their opponents.

Ampleforth opened the scoring with a well judged penalty kick, awarded for a line-out infringement, a penalty was then awarded, and finally a gift try followed misjudgment in our defence. Ampleforth's score of 11 points at half time could only be matched by a fine penalty goal landed by Cloughton from mid-field.

Ampleforth's advantages in weight and height was never more clearly demonstrated than in the second half. A shove-over try and conversion increased the lead, and a fine combined handling movement by their forwards piled on the agony. At this point the School rallied, but opportunities to harass the Ampleforth defence remained limited with infrequent possession. It was in fact surprising that Ampleforth were not more enterprising. A last remaining penalty against the School completed the scoring. Team : —Nettleton; Morris, Clegg, Cloughton, Eatough; Vooght, Emsley (Capt.); Town, Hart, Donnelly, Pickersgill, Winn, Atkinson, Hardman,

Youle.

Colours awarded to Youle, Atkinson, Hardman, Morris.

v. WORKSOP COLLEGE Played away on Wednesday, 2nd December. Lost 11-22.

Much of Worksop's scoring in the first half didn't make sense. 16 points down after 25 minutes, and 19-3 at half-time. True, conditions were wintry, the first time such conditions had been met this term, but the team's mental approach in this game from the outset was quite irresponsible.

In the second half they very largely made amends. The gap at one time was closed to 19-11 after a try by Donnelly and a further penalty by Emsley, only for Worksop to gain one last try after some poor tackling. Team: —Eatough; Norris, Clegg, Cloughton, Duckworth; Vooght, Emsley (Capt.); Town, Hart, Donnelly, Bailey, Pickersgill, Horsman, Hardman,

Atkinson.

Cap awarded to M. Donnelly.
