In a close and physical encounter South Sydney held a six point lead at half time 15-11. Both sides scored six further points after the break.

Souths captain Jack Rayner led the team in fine style to their first title in 18 years while the club's internationals all stood up and were counted. Forward Bernie Purcell kicked five long-range penalty goals in succession; fullback Clive Churchill ran Wests' heavyweight forwards off their legs and winger Johnny Graves scored two great tries.

South Sydney Rabbitohs 21 (Tries: Graves 2, Smailes. Goals: Purcell 5, Graves 1.)

Western Suburbs Magpies 15 (Tries: Holman. Goals: Keato 6.)
