Two Torrens lacrosse wins

Bv GOALKEEPER

Eost Torrent today won bom the A Grade and B Grade lacrosse premierships.

The A Grade match, in which they beat Port Adelaide

The game then developed into a regular beat, with both teams throwing goal for goal. Ports switched players In their attacking division, but any advantage thereby gained was nullified toy poor stick work. The B Grade challenge final was Intensely Interesting, as East Torrens and Port Adelaide fought out a joal-for-goal marathon, with Torrens lust keeping m front to win by 12 goab to 11 Port*, although they trailed dighUy roost of the match, were always within touch, and wit)) » lust-quarter burst, were unlucky not to break through In the un4eM6 grade, Brighton won their first schoolboy prtmteruMp nine* before
