Match Notes
Game was scheduled for May 11 but was postponed due to the 1977 Pilot's Strike.
The game was to be played at Leichhardt Oval in a double header with the Canterbury v North Coast game but due to the condition of the ground the council would only allow one game to be played and this game was transferred to Redfern.
