Looks like the old belmore before it was rectangulated pre ‘67 sometime💯

Yes Rex Mess Up, keeps calling Bobby McCarthy, 'Bill' McCarthy. Maybe he should have stuck to his day job selling used cars for Stacks along with Saints hooker Ian Walsh.😀

Yeah it was a problem for a few teams. Until color TV came along, all televised games were arranged that one team wore white shorts and one wore black or dark colors

Belmore Oval.....although it looks more like a square!Canterbury home game.

@@typetersen8809 wow, its changed a lot over the years.

@@TorontoBarbell Sure has! And Redfern Oval gone! Along with many inner-city venues. Henson Park for the Newton Bluebags was another. The game is not the same. 😔

This match was at Belmore . The date in the description is wrong though . This is from 1964 but it looks like Belmore is east to west here . I didn't even know the configuration was north to south at some point .

@@MERCURYSUNSET The railway line appears to be behind the dead ball line on the left of screen, indicating a North/South configuration. Rex mentions it after goal kicks. 11:08 Leichhardt and the Sydney Sports Ground were both East/West, reconfigured during the '70's and '80's.

@@peterpiper831never know Leichhardt to go east-west in fact the only ground I remember in the 70’s going east-west was the old sydney sports ground Moore park😏

Actually this is from the round 9 clash at Belmore in 1964 .

@@MERCURYSUNSET You have a good memory

Rugby league in the 60,s is mix of state and ashes series also French tour plus grandfinal

Does anyone know of any footage of 1944 and 1945 final between st George and Balmain Ray lindwall is fullback and brother Jack lindwall on the wing both men scored all st Georges points going down to Balmain by a series of conversions in 1946 Ray lindwall was talked into playing cricket and declining to tour with brother Jack for the kangaroos they were my grandfather's 1st cousins

​@@pedrobaillie3307it is my understanding that Graham Hughes is the only man to play for NSW in both cricket and rugby league...do you know if Ray Lindwall did this also? I'm quite certain he had the ability, but did he get that opportunity?

No tvs in 1901

i think it's the old belmore oval. i recall rex mossop calling balls going onto the railway tracks in 70s there.

Sounds like Mossop to me, great commentator

John O' Reilly

​@@tonyburraston3931definitely Rex Mossop

Played with Norths

@James Drake I think he's referring to the fact that they used mounds of dirt instead of kicking tees. For example 1:31

@MANCHESTER UNITED Wendyball

@M no one cares handbag

Except for the few seasons when he played for the Berries.

So was Bill McCaethy, according to Rex

Oh get so picky why don't you, just watch and enjoy

If your 2nd rate comp in England actually ups it's standard then yeah , until then it is all about Sydney .

That's quite correct Troy. He would have been using a prototype mobile phone developed by AWA called the "cooee compact". It wasn't trialled until 1965. The government squashed the project after lobbying by the PMG dep't who didn't want the competition. We could have led the world!

I believe it's a transistor radio or wireless as my father said ,listening to the commentary or the races,big thing back then.

Don't listen by to these guys, it's a time traveller.

Darren, you are correct lots of people used small transistor radios at the football in Sydney as the ABC aired most games so they could keep up with all the games that were played they would also relay score to their mates. But what is missed is the AMBULANCE officers sitting on the sideline in hats and uniform 7.19 also the way after a try is scored it's a gentlemans hand- shake, not a group-hug of these days. Check out the kids on the roof of the building,great fun filled days not like now bloody POLITICAL CORRECT nonsense.

@@blackprince4074 Yep, and not NSW Ambulance officers either but volunteer St Johns Ambulance officers aka as Zambuks.

I didn’t think Rex began commentating until after he retired, 1964 makes sense.

Fuck off u basted

He he, before Australia turned brown.

You Nazi nongs are so sharp, like a wet cornflake.

Theyll have to go back to their shitholes

Agree. In 1962, Satts was in Newcastle and played against the poms in a combined Newcastle team.

Dead right mate, Bobby Mcarthy, Satts & Ron Coote, ... got to around 64-5.Real scrums..!

Ian Maurice ..🙋 🐻

Hello Bear, hope life is treating you well.

July 4, 1964 in fact

Belmore

MANCHESTER UNITED F.C stfu

@M NO ONE CARES AND I DONT REMEMBER ASKING

@M And yet here you are AGAIN on a Rugby League post . Thanks for showing support for Rugby League .

The BBC first televised the Challenge Cup Final in 1948, but it wasn't transmitted in Rugby Leagues heartland. When itv started in the mid-fifties it showed games but only in the London region. BBC One has shown the Challenge Cup Final live every year since 1958.

it was a replay

No it was live. I watched it.

@@j.m.6542 why did they only show one half

@@tiger832 It was all the Sydney Rugby League would allow. They felt that if the whole game was televised, it would affect gates.

@J. Al Since the post was on a rugby league televised match, was there any point in bringing football into it?

1962

Agree Rex Mossop is commentating and he did not retire until after the 63 season

It is 1964.
