Football- I USK y. MAINDEE. Maindee visited Usk on Saturday last, and were defeated by the locals by two tries to nil. During the first half, especially at the commencement, Usk had much the beat of the play, and several dangerous rounds of passing by the home backs were only stopped on the line. The Maindee forwards, although heavier than their opponents, were beaten in the tight surums, but gained a lot of ground with loose rushes. Half-time arrived with no score. Soon after the restart Knight got the leather away to Prothero, and he, afser shaking off several would-be tacklers, scored. Towards the close, the Usk forwards went. off with a dribble, and beating all opposition, D ivies was able to score the second try. Owing to a late start being made, the game was finished in semi-darknes-i. Coming to individuals, Roberts was again the pick of the Usk three-quarters, although Weare was prominent on occasions. Ethiridge, at back, was fair. Prothero was good at half, making some fine runs, whilst he also tackled effectively. Knight showed improved form in getting the ball away. Of the forwards it is hardly fair to mention anyone in particular, as all plltyd well. On the Maindee eid*, the full back saved well. The three-quarters were fair. Needham belD responsible for two strong runs in the second half. The forwards dil not seein to exert themselves in the scrums, but were good at the line-out and in the loose rushes.
