Newton v. Kingsbridge: Albion Chiefs being unable to get a team together owing to the county match, Kingsbridge came to Newton, and suffered a crushing defeat. Newton was without Windsor, Donkin, Elwell, but were otherwise fully represented. The home team started against the wind, and soon shewed their superiority, Greenfield scoring and converting. Pinsent shortly afterwards followed suit, scoring twice, and J. Scagell added another try. These reverses seemed to demoralise Kingsbridge, and Pinsent scored his third try and after more fast play Kay scored. Half-time — Newton, 4 goals 2 tries, Kingsbridge, nil. After the restart Newton still kept on piling up points, tries following in quick succession J. Scagell, Burns (2), Greenfield (2), and White. Kingsbridge was never dangerous, and one-sided game resulted in victory for Newton 8 goals 4 tries (52 points) to nil.
