North Sydney Shaken Up by St George Testimony Crowd
Rugby League at Moore Park had three First Grade matches on Saturday with North Sydney, South Sydney and Eastern Suburbs sharing early premiership leads. A 12,000 crowd watched the Frank Burge testimonial between South Sydney and Glebe, while North Sydney vs St George drew the day’s main interest. The day featured uneven skill, with North Sydney’s fast, gingery play standing out amid generally moderate football and variable form across the three grounds. Balmain defeated the University, and Eastern Suburbs extended a six-match winning run, though not by the same margin as past seasons.

North Sydney Triumph Over St George In Tight Rugby Match
Thompson burst free as Horder closed in, Carstairs blocked then Thompson passed to Horder who sprinted through. Hodgins kicked the clinching goal as North Sydney won by 20 to 16. North Sydney's pace marks them as a standout unit though forwards lack weight to deliver sustained ball. St George pressed and could have won with Lapham in action, suggesting the South Sydney win was not fluke.
