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 FOOTBALL.  

A match under the above rules took place on Saturday last at Norman Park, between a Cairns representative team and a team from the s.s. Wyreema, which resulted in the former winning by three goals to nil. A decided improvement was noticed in the play of the local team, and ere long this game should be taken on in real earnest in Cairns. On Saturday next the Town Ranfgers and the Railway Rovers will meet again. A meeting of all interested in the above game is called for to-morrow evening at the Newmarket Hotel, when all players are requested to attend, and one of the matters to be dealt with will be an invitation to a Townsville team to play here about Carnival week.
