Playing copybook football .in the warm Queensland winter sunshine. the English team outclassed Central Queensland. England led 33-4 at half-time.

From the first whistle, England dominated and in the first fifteen minutes had converted four tries for 20 points before Central Queensland scored with a penalty kick First points came from a try by E. Fraser, following up a short kick from J. Challinor. From there on it was a series of tries and conversions by Britain until their score reached 61 with twenty-five minutes’ play left. E. Ashton and A. Murphy often electrified the crowd with their fast drives with cross-passing which cut the defence to ribbons
