Match report

15 Aug 1908, Wentworth Park (doubleheaded with the Eastern Suburbs-North Sydney semi-final at the Royal Agricultural Society Showground). Halftime: South Sydney 11, Glebe 0. RLP lists attendance at 1,200, but contemporary reports suggest the real crowd was smaller (perhaps 250-300) since several stars had just departed on the first Kangaroo Tour - both figures reported, with a preference for RLP's stated number as the source of record.
