Career

Out of the Grafton club, Lecky was called into the New Zealand national side to tour New South Wales in 1884 after J. Coombe Webster withdrew for business reasons.

Described by team manager, S.E Sleigh as "a plucky player", Gage played in seven matches on the tour (including a match against Wellington before they left) and scored four tries in the process.

He played 18 games for the Auckland province between 1883 and 1889.

Personal

Lecky married Charlotte Wilkinson in 1887.
