Unfortunately, they do not provide a date.

According to Maher Cup sites, he played for Young circa 1961.

Perhaps somebody who knows how to find this date could help.

Yes in the SMH on Tue 5 Sept Braybrook is nominated for the Friday 8 Sept Challenge Cup 2nd Semi-Final Norths v Canterbury game and Kevin Roberts the Thursday 7 Sept 1st Semi-Final Souths v Balmain.

However all newspapers on Thursday list Braybrook as referee for the Thursday night Souths v Balmain game and the Daily Mirror on Friday lists Doug Wintin as the ref for the Friday Norths v Canterbury game.
