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.

CRICKET.

FIRST GRADE FINAL.

Arrangements have been made to play the first grade final match, between University and Redfern, at the Sydney Cricket Ground, No. 1. Play will commence at 2 p.m. The British Association footballers, who had engaged the ground for Saturday, will play their match on the No. 2 area, which has been given up by the Lacrosse' Association. The match is creating great interest. Messrs. W. Curran and J. Laing have been appointed umpires.
