Rugby league history

A suburban Sydney ground used briefly by the NSWRFL for paired first-grade and reserve-grade fixtures across the 1933-1936 seasons — a pattern typical of the competition's occasional use of outer venues in that era to spread fixtures beyond the main Sydney grounds — before a single further NSW Cup match returned to the venue in 2017, over eight decades later.
