Eph

Eph Mison was a larger than life character on the NSW South Coast. He was an achieved footballer, cricketer, and athlete during his younger years.

He became a noted administrator in the emerging rugby league world and could often be confrontational and controversial.

One of his enduring achievements was advocating for the establishment of rugby league on the South Coast in 1911. He eventually achieved that goal by 1913.
