The big score in Young's favour was not a true reflection of the game as in the first half play see-sawed from one end of the field to another.

Time and time again Young was hard put to defend, and the crowd was on tip toe with excitement.

Gundagai failed to finish off many promising movements. Rev DG Leggett and the back division generally was too solid.

Leggett particularly giving another sound display with faultless handling and kicking.

Sid Hall again proved himself a splendid leader and an inspiration to the team.

Kearney's knee fortunately stood the test and he played in his usual wide awake fashion.

McMecamin in the front row did not show out at his best, but he proved an acquisition to the team.

Jum Miller showed out as a considerably improved player, and his try in the second half was well deserved. Torpy, O'Malley, the Hall brothers, in fact, the whole team played with great credit.

Father Morrison, who was in some nice moves, had a very nasty fall in the second half, but he gamely resumed after a minute or two.

Both Abe Hall and Kearney had to have attention, the former being carried off for awhile, but he returned Gundagai was not so lucky.

Already injuries have taken their toll this year.

Field sustained a shoulder injury, left the field for attention, went back on and played pluckily until the final stages, when he went off for good.

Brock was also hurt. Gundagai was without their coach, who had a shoulder injury, and watched the game from the side line.

The 'Bidgee team had some great stalwarts and in luckier circumstances would have shown to better advantages.

Doolan Smith, at full back, the three McInerneys, the two McGuires, and Egan, were constantly in the picture.

Rain was threatening all day and for a time a drizzling mist fell. Gundagai came by special train carrying 165 supporters and others arriving by car.

The teams were:

Gundagai: F Smith, G McInerney, B McInerney, B McInerney, T Bourke, J McCarthy, J McGuire, J Masters, C Egan, J Field, W Field, H McGuire, J Brook.

Young: Rev DG Leggett, Roy Hall, Sid Hall, Abe Hall, Father Morrison, Torpy, J Miller, W Kearney, McMenamin, O'Rourke, Richens, Brown, O'Malley.

The match was refereed by Mr F Lee of Sydney. Owing to the absence of rough play, though the game was hard fought, his was an easier task than that of the referee in the Coota match. He handled the game excellently, giving satisfaction to both teams.

The final score was Young 30, Gundagai 7.

(Young Chronicle 27, July 1934).

Before the close of another week ,persons in the habit of visiting the store of Sun Kum Hang and Co in Main street at Young will miss the familiar face, gentlemanly appearance and winning manner of Mr Lee, one of the partners in the firm, who, we hear, has been invited to take part in the conduct of the head establishment in Sydney.

Mr Lee has, we believe, been connected with the house in Young some five years or so, and all who have had business relations with him during that period have never to our knowledge spoken but in terms of respect for and of gratification with him.

When he came here he was in possession of the most flattering documents from Magistrates and others testifying to the general satisfaction experienced in dealing with him, while resident in Gulgong for several years.

We doubt not when the news of his intended departure from amongst us shall have been made public, a like feeling will, if not expressed be also experienced here, accompanied by a sense of regret that his stay in Young should have thus suddenly bought to a close.

In leaving Mr Lee may rest assured he takes with him the very best wishes of everyone who had the privilege of his acquaintance.
