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.

BRITISH ASSOCIATION GAME

On the Brisbane Cricket Ground to-day two very interesting British Football Association matches are down for decision. Commencing at 2 p.m., a match will take place between teams representing Brisbane and the Ipswich and West Moreton district, and at 3.30 another team, representing the metropolis, will play a team from the Toowoomba district. These matches are being played to givc the Queensland selectors every epportunity to pick the Interstate team for Sydney. It is now several years since these interstate matches were played, but it is now hoped to make them annual fixtures.
