Each day examples of sports news from exactly 100 years ago will be reproduced in blog posts below. Most of the posts will mostly relate to soccer (or British Association football as it was sometimes know in the pre-war period) but other sports will get a look in, especially during the Australian summer.

The material will be extracted from the National Library of Australia's digital archive and other sources.

FOOTBALL CUP. 

DRAW FOR THE FINAL. 

London, April 21.     
The final for the football cup was played at the Crystal Palace yesterday. The strike caused a small attendance, only 60,000. Neither of the teams, [West] Bromwich [Albion] and Barnsley, scored and the match ended in a draw. It will be played over again on Wednedsday.
