out with the fourth quarter only
two minutes old. It was a wild and
a woolly eight minutes as plenty
of fouls were called on both teams.
Play was ragged and spasmodic.
At times it looked more like a
football game with players strewn
all over the floor, but Beaufort fans
were happy as they had beaten
their arch-rivals fjom across the
river.
