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.

10 May 1912, The West Australian

FOOTBALL. 

BRITISH ASSOCIATION GAME. 

The fortnightly meeting of the British Football Association was held at the Amateur Sports Club on Wednesday night, the vice-chairman (Mr. T. Nesbit) presiding over a large attendance. 

Included amongst the correspondence was a letter from Mr. J. Moss, hon. secretary of the Western Australian Rowing Association, calling attention to the interstate rowing carnival on May 11 and requesting that the date be left open. It was decided to comply with the request and postpone all fixtures. It was also decided that a district test match, Fremantle v. Perth, be played on June 3 on the Claremont Show ground. Messrs. Nesbit, Smith, and Brennand were appointed as a selection committee. 

 The Junior Association should note that all second and third division matches are suspended tomorrow.
