(R) Replacement. In the tirst game against Northumberland al Northcm RFC Iherc were Il new playcrs in the !eam, and the lack of cxpcrience showcd, with many CITors and fa ilure to retain possession. Even worse, a greal dea! of good possession won by the fonvards, especîall y in the line·oul, was w3sted by poor kicking. A much improved displ ay against the Counly Champions for Ihe past Iwo seasons, Warwickshi re, wilh so rne excellenl rugby producing a 19 poinls lead in Ihe tirsl 20 minules oflhe game. There was a relaxalion of effort in Ihe second ha lfwhcn Warwickshire Ihrealcncd 10 lake conlrol, but good dcfence kept the score down and Ih t team Ihoroughly deser"ed the 24· 12 victory. Poor lackling gave away 100 many trics al Newark agamsi Nous, Unes. & Derby, and a 24 point start for the opposition proved impossible to calch up.
