Daniel Henry Verner Du Vall (23 December 1886 – 12 October 1917) was a New Zealand professional rugby league footballer who played in the 1910s.
At some point in 1908 Du Vall moved to the Timaru area and took part in a match between a South Canterbury rugby league team and Invercargill who were touring at the time.
In 1911 Du Vall moved to the Te Kūiti area and competed in athletic meetings early in the year.
During the football season he played for the Te Kuiti-Huia's rugby league team in matches against Taumarunui, Manunui, and Rotorua where he was captain in a 29-2 defeat.
He was selected to play in all 6 of Hawke's Bay's representative matches in 1912 against Wellington, Auckland, Hamilton, Wanganui, New South Wales, and Canterbury.
New South Wales won comfortably by 31 to 10 with Du Vall kicking a conversion and a penalty.
Du Vall converted Hawke's Bay's only try by Ellison from the sideline which made the score 12-5, though England went on to win comfortably 30-7.
[15] While against Wellington, Hawke's Bay were trounced 62-16 in the match at the Basin Reserve though Du Vall had to leave the field with a knee injury after just a few minutes.
[16] Du Vall's form in the 1912 season for Hawke's Bay was good enough to gain him selection for the New Zealand side against New South Wales.
[19] Du Vall competed in several athletics meetings primarily as a middle distance runner with some success.
After he moved to Timaru he competed in the South Canterbury Caledonian Society meeting in January 1909.
[20] While the investigation was taking place as to if he had played in the rugby league match in late 1908 it was even suggested that they look at his leg to see the spike injury to try and determine his identity.
In 1910 he competed in the Te Puke Athletic Club meeting at Mr. Montgomery's paddock on Easter Monday.
[26] Du Vall enlisted in the 1st Battalion, Canterbury Infantry Regiment, New Zealand Expeditionary Force on 25 July 1916.
A search for Du Vall failed to find him and it was assumed by eye witnesses that the shell must have struck him directly.
