Career
Before he made his VFL debut, Lowly represented Victoria in a first-class cricket fixture against Tasmania at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. He scored 62 in his first innings and was run-out for just three in his next. On the back of this effort Lowry was signed by Street Kilda and he made his debut in the opening game of the 1938 season.
He spent nine years playing at Street Kilda but suffered from constant injuries, restricting him to just 53 senior appearances.
