Don Evenden (1931-2018) was an Australian
Playing career
Evenden began his first grade career with North Sydney in 1952 and was a member of the Norths sides which reached the preliminary finals in 1952 and 1953 but fell short of a grand final appearance. In 1954, Evenden was selected to play for New South Wales and Australia but failed to make an appearance for the Australian side as he was an unused reserve in the third test against Great Britain. In 1957, Evenden was selected to play for New South Wales again as they defeated Queensland 69–5 in an interstate series match. In 1959, Evenden joined Balmain and spent two seasons with them making a total of 10 appearances.[2][3]
