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.

ROSEWOOD July 2

The Rosewood British Association Football Club played off a fixture on the local sports ground on Saturday against the Rosebells (Ipswich), and defeated them by 3 goals to 1. An enjoyable football club social was held in the Farmers' Hall on Saturay night. Music was supplied by Mr Geo. Akes, and Mr T. Lane supervised the dancing.
