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.

SYDNEY, June 26.

At the Sydney Cricket Ground to-day the Queensland team of British Association footballers scored the first win of its tour by defeating a team selected from H.M.S. Drake and Garden Ialand players by four goals to two. The display by the Queenslanders was brilliant. If they can reproduce the same form on Saturday next, the interstate match should be worth seeing.

 

BARCALDINE, June 27.

The Rugby Football Union has completed the arrangements for entertaining the Longreach team on Sunday next.
