1932 Goodall Cup

The 1932 Goodall Cup was the 17th edition of the inter-state series between Victoria and New South Wales. The tournament ended in a draw, with each side winning, drawing, and losing a match. New South Wales kept custody of the Goodall Cup, having won the trophy the previous year, but were not crowned official champions, as is often incorrectly reported. They would retain the trophy until 1947.

"New South Wales scored an easy win by six goals to nil from Victoria in the first of three matches at the Glaciarium on Saturday night. Superior speed and team play of New South Wales told in the second half and Victoria was always on the defensive. W Johnson was the best player and scored three goals, the other goals being scored by Went, Raith and Kennedy. H Darke, the visiting goalkeeper was a tower of strength, and made several brilliant saves. There was an exceptionally large attendance."
