Midweek - July 15

Junior Representative Match

WIN 3-0

Played before the midweek Metropolis verses Queensland match. This match was very evenly contested, though neither team showed exceptional brilliancy. Up to half-time no points were scored by either side. In the second half South Sydney Juniors did most of the attacking and were on their opponents line for the greater part of the half. Balmain's forwards occassionally got the ball into their opponents 25, but their efforts were nullified by fulty handling of their backs. Towards the close of the game South Sydney's forwards took the ball into their opponents 25, where Hinsley picking up, transferred to Smith, who raced over the line and scored. Butler failed to add the extras. the final scores were - South Sydney 3; Balmain nil.

HT    0-0
      3-0
