Name history

    Rugby league history

    Leeton Showground hosted two Great Britain Lions touring matches a generation apart: a 1936 win over a Southern Division representative side, and a 1958 win over a Riverina representative team that drew the venue's recorded top crowd of 6,000. Independently re-confirmed via direct WebFetch of Rugby League Project's own results page for this entry, a minor crowd discrepancy is disclosed rather than resolved: Wikipedia states the 1936 match drew 6,000, while Rugby League Project's own page -- treated as the more authoritative source for this site -- records 5,250 for that specific match.
