Match Report
Even though Sturt had finished the season as Minor Premiers thoughts were that this Grand Final would be a close one as the Blues form going into the finals was not particularly impressive. As was expected the first quarter was close with Sturt only holding a 5 point lead at quarter time and they were only able to extend this lead by 1 point going into half time. In the third quarter Frank Golding became impassable at full back repelling many Rooster attacks and keeping Sturt in the game and by midway through the quarter after Gordon Scutton had snapped an impossible goal the Blues had stretched their lead out to 18 points although North did get a goal back just before the end of the quarter. The Blues went into the last quarter with a 12 point lead, but with both teams kicking 2 goals in the final quarter it was the teams ability to run the game out in contrast to the tiring Roosters that gave Sturt a 13 point victory. Better players included Victor Richardson in the centre, Captain-Coach Frank Golding at full back, Clarrie Scrutton on the wing and his brother Gordon playing forward along with the high flying Horrie Riley.
