Garry Dowling

One of the fittest players in the premiership during the 1970s Garry Dowling was a strong, explosive fullback with C’bury after coming from Oakdale in NSW's Southern Division. He played for NSW in 1975 but joined P’matta after eight seasons with C’bury. In 1980 he was chosen whilst playing on wing in club games to tour NZ with the Australian side as a fullback. Dowling was named ‘Player of the Series’ after fine displays in Australia's two Test victories. He later joined Wests for one final season and despite playing for NSW in 1981, he left Sydney to play for the Gold Coast ‘Vikings’. Dowling was tragically killed in a car accident near Mt Tambourine (Queensland) on his way home from a trial match in Beaudesert in March 1983.
