Last post by Paul Carter - 10 February, 2026, 04:21:24 PMWith 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.
