Match Notes
Benefit Match for Maoris played under Rugby Union rules. The NSW team comprised a number of New Zealand players and some Sydney Rugby Union players. It was not sanctioned by the NSWRL and there was talk of players taking part being banned from the remainder of the season but that did not seem to happen.
Ogaard(who played in bare feet) on the wing for the Metro team although his name was given as Ogaard it is not believed to be the Glebe player Wally Ogaard. Players listed in the program may not have been who the program said they were.
Not all scorers were identified in newspaper reports.
