Schaefer. holding control
in the centre, drove South;

defence was in top form
and onlv one point was
scored. ' The Southerners
could not break clear as
Hawthorn directed play to
the pockets from where it
was hard-to score.
SOUTH MATCHED

South's form was disappointing,
and they were

A doubtful free to E.

goal for South.

Hawthorn came back and

It was all Hawthorn,
