Biography

[edit | edit source]

Mahon was born in Dalby and played his early rugby league in the town of Jandowae.[2]

A winger, Mahon made his interstate debut for Queensland in their 1933 interstate series against New South Wales and scored the winning try in the final fixture at The Gabba.[3] He was playing his rugby league in Toowoomba when he earned a Kangaroos call up for the 1935 tour of New Zealand, where he secured a hat–trick against a New Zealand XIII. His only capped appearance on tour came as a centre, in partnership with captain Dave Brown, for the first of the three international fixtures against New Zealand.[2]

Mahon became an agricultural auctioneer.[4]
