Right wonderful judgment in midst of the mill; Rarely they catch him to send him a spill.

In a close finish he is just grand; Now they are roaring from the grandstand; Gorringe, they yell, look out, you backs, Even now there's a chance for the Yellow and Blacks.

"One of the Canaries" (1922)[12] In 1912 and 1913 he was playing along with his brother, Eric Lowther John Gorringe (1893–1970), for the Brighton Rovers.

[13][14] Gorringe played for the Cananore club in the Tasmanian Football League between the years 1914 and 1930.

[15] He played numerous matches at representative level for both the league and the state—in a war interrupted career (no TFL competition in 1916, 1917, and 1918), he played in 157 club games for Cananore, and in 35 combined games, and represented Tasmania in the 1924 and 1927 carnivals[11]—including the match in Adelaide, when the TFL representative team beat South Australia, in Adelaide, on 21 July 1923.
