Notes & reviews

Total attendance including 6,800 Ladies' Day Guests: 13,300
Hit & run
High over LCF screen, landing atop a roof of a factory across Landsdowne Street.
York: leaping catch
Gehringer knocked it down
Gehringer failed to run out the grounder claiming the ball bounced off his foot and was therefore foul. Tigers argued the point long and vigorously.
