Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Conducting its inaugural meeting in 1865, the now defunct Sydney Football Club holds the honour of being Australia''s first rugby club. The first ''inter-club'' match took place between Sydney F.C. and a team placed in the field by the Australian Cricket Club. Held in Sydney''s Hyde Park on June 17, 1865. It has been thought that University formed a football club in 1863 or ''64, however, it is now clear there is no evidence to support this. Newspaper reports record no matches amongst the University students or inter-club matches until after the arrival of Sydney F.C. in the winter of 1865. In Melbourne, the capital of Victoria, a set of local rules had been adopted in 1858 (based on a mix of rugby, soccer and other English and local variations).
