In the 1920s, local competition appeared to continue on from the mid 1910s and the teams seemed to be getting stronger. By 1922, Mackay had also formed a rep team and was playing intercity matches. In June of 1922, a Mackay representative team was formed and they travelled to Rockhampton to play a match against the Rockhampton rep team. It was a hard fought match with Rockhampton eventually winning by one goal to nil.
