BRITISH ASSOCIATION.
Notes by "Half-back." . . .
The
chief topic of interest this week is the annual meeting of the TBFA
[Tasmanian British Football Association], which is to take place at the
YMCA rooms. The chair is to be occupied by the Hon Henry Dobson
(vice-patron), who has always taken an interest in the development of
the "Empire" code in Tasmania. I have to hand from the hon. secretary
(Mr J.J.B. Honeysett) a lengthy report dealing with the past season's
work, but as I understand this will be published in the press, I will
not go into details As these notes will not again appear until after
the meeting is over, a word of praise should be given to the executive
of the association for their untiring efforts in the interests of the
game during the past season. There is no doubt that, but for the
enterprise shown by them, the New South Wales trip would never have
eventuated, and the successful way in which it was carried out speaks
volumes for their energy and enthusiasm.
The
Northern Tasmanian Association has had a most sueceesful annual
meeting, and correspondence received from the hon secretary (Mr Norman
Vincent) shows that our Launceston confreres are eagerly anticipating
the inauguration of tho North v. South matches. The first of these is
to hake place at Launceston in all probability early in June. As I have
heard that the Northerners number several "stars" in their ranks, a
good combination from the two associations should be available for the
New South Wales tour.
Speaking
of the Mother State reminds me that the N.S.W.F.A balance-sheet for the
past season (of which one is to hand) looks particularly healthy, the
figures showing that the credit balance has been augmented by £20 for
the season's working. The newly-formed Commonwealth Football
Association is evidently bearing fruit, as inter-State matches have
already been arranged to take place in New South Wales and Queensland
during the coming season.
