Beginnings

Moruya played a match in June 1925 against Braidwood. The two towns met again for a rugby league match in July 1926, playing a challenge match for the Lord Mayor's Cup. The same opponents played for the Retail Traders' Cup in September 1927. In August 1928, Moruya defeated Milton to retain the Toohey Cup. In 1929, Moruya entered in a Far South Coast rugby league competition with
Bemboka, Cobargo, Eden, Pambula, Tathra and two Bega teams, the Federals and Waratahs.
During 1930, Moruya participated in the competition with Bermagui, Bodalla, Tilba and their opponents on 31 May, Narooma. In 1934, Moruya hosted a weekend knock-out tournament in early June. Later that month the Moruya team of Burke, Crapp, Cooper, Cowdroy, Heffernan, Hopwood, Kelsey, Malcolm, Donnelly, Chowying, Brogan, Cowdroy and Bartlett travelled to Braidwood for a challenge cup match. They met with a heavy defeat. In August 1938, Moruya drew two-all with Bodalla in a semi-final of the Tilba District Rugby League competition.
