The game was a rough one and there had been two accidents, Ah Wing was in them. In one, three men came into collision and in the other he threw a man when tackling " James Begg and Charles Lawrence gave similar evidence and Doctor Morris said that the cause of death was injury to the bowels which had been badly bruised.
