Hockey: Rugby 3rd v. Leicester Y.M.C.A. 2nd: Played at Rugby on Saturday: … description of game … Y.M.C.A. kept them penned in their own 25 practically the whole of the second half. Indeed, they only reached the Leicester half on four occasions. However, the Rugby defence was great, and Y.M.C.A. could not score, though Pinsent at centre-half, had very hard lines with a clinking shot from the edge of the circle, the ball hitting the crossbar and landed on the top of the net, Y.M.C.A. winning a good game by one goal to nil. Leicester Y.M.C.A. 2nd, … (team includes) … A. Pinsent … Comments: … If one man stood out more prominent than the others in the Y.M.C.A. eleven, it was A. Pinsent. He played brilliantly, Chambers, the new recruit, gave a very promising exhibition, but the backs and goalkeeper had very little to do.
