On 4 August 1945, Knox played against Waverley in what was then described as the “most thrilling match ever on the School’s Oval”. The Knox Grammarian, August 1945
The Knox and Waverley 1st XV teams were both previously unbeaten, and the match was a brilliant finale to the season. At the final whistle, the victorious Knox 1st XV were carried off the field on the shoulders of their supporters. The final score was 13-11 and secured the 1945 Associated Schools’ Championship for Knox. The game ball was presented to the 1st XV Captain, G H Wilkinson (OKG45) and was signed by the Knox players.
