Eastern Suburbs attacked throughout the first half, and at the interval led by 8 points to 2. Hincksman and T. J. Molloy were the outstanding players for Eastern Suburbs in the first half, and the side was superior to Glebe. Scrummaging honours were slightly in favour of Eastern Suburbs, although Glebe early held the advantage. Rarely was the ball carried to Eastern Suburbs' territory, and despite good efforts by [Glebe players] See and Larken Glebe were unable to score more than a penalty goal by Quigley. A good try by Moxun after forward work was followed by a neat try by Steel, after Hincksman made the opening.

McGrath was not long in crossing the line for Glebe. Soon after Quigley ran nicely along the wing and with a well judged kick centred tho ball. Goddard, who played a neat game throughout, gathered and scored a good try, which made tho scores 8 all. Eastern Suburbs gained a temporary lead of 10-8 through Steel kicking a penaltv goal, but Goddard was not long in scoring again, and Glebe now led 11-10. A foolish pass by Ives behind his goal line was snapped up by Gray, who touched down for try. Towards the end Eastern Suburbs tried hard to score, but combined movements by their backs where frustrated by the Glebe defence, and before full-time Quigley added another goal, making tho final scores, Glebe 16 Eastern Suburbs 10.
