 Bobby, who gained a last minute inclusion in the Country side on the wing, had as his vis-a-vis, Sydney’s outstanding winger, Bob Lulham.So effectively did Dimond tackle throughout the game that Lulham was unable to score, and at the termination of the match, Lulham congratulated Bob Dimond on his grand display.This same season (1948) Bobby twice represented NSW v Queensland, played in the Combined Country v Kiwis on Wollongong Showground and in the return match for Combined Country v Combined Sydney.
