they have not finished 1,2, 3, and  

that was in 1919, when the ’flu havoc  

was on, for, after being beaten five  

times in the second round, they made  

wonderful recovery by winning the

Competition we also, three weeks  

later, defeated them by 16-15 in the  

final of the Sports Ground Cup, after  

they were leading us by 15 points to  

at half-time, this being the first  

season in which either First or
