 This year's triumph by Eastern Suburbs is their third successive win Since the introduction of the 13 a side code.Throughout the season they have shown that they are a particularly well balanced combination, thoroughly sound in defence, and possessing attacking powers which are, taken all through, of a very high order.Saturday's success crowns a really splendid season's work, which has gained not only championship honours, but gives the club absolute possession of the shield presented by the Agricultural Society.
