Match Report

British Empire
This was the Charlie Smith and Mel Meek Benefit Match. Alex Fiddes (Wales) replaced Elias at half time. There is a missing tryscorer for British Empire which is one of either of the players with the surname McDonald. Additionally, the match record indicates that touch judge Hubert Lockwood, the recently retired Halifax Hall of Famer, kicked one goal for British Empire. For reference, we've put him down as a substitute for British Empire.
