The Sun Herald states the penalties as 14 all but incorrectly states the halftime score as 6 nil it should have been 16 nil.
With this game. I went off the Truth's report of this game from Sunday, April 17, 1955. With games were their is no footage or no tv coverage. I normally like to read all the newspaper/magazine's reports of games. In recent times when I have been to The State Library in Sydney. They do not have a lot of the microfilm for the Sydney Morning Herald their now. Their is possibly that they are still in storage at the State Library in Sydney.
The microfilm is all still there it's now out the back in storage and needs to be requested.
