1955 Collegiate Thrash Star in Round 4 of comp.

Yes the same day Collegiate had a big win over Star 27-8.  Star held well in the first half but fall away noticeable in the second.  Star forwards again turned up and by use of the knock back from lineouts got plenty of ball for the backs.

Unfortunately from the hard work by the forwards this was not repeated by their backs, although competing in the first half Star backs got the run around from the Collegiate backs in the last 40. Collegiate only led 11-8 at half time.  Injuries to W. Milne and Z. Soper, two backs for Star threw the team out and Collegiate took advantage of this and rang on 16 points in the 2nd half.  I. A.  Nuttal, Collegiate captain scored 12 points 1 penalty, 1try and 3 conversions.  J. Newton (2) K. Laidlaw, A.L. Wilson and A. Gray.
