Matches were played at the Walhalla Cricket Ground.The competition began when two teams (Commonwealth and North United) played a game on the Walhalla Cricket Ground. They were later joined by YMC. Two teams would play on Saturday while the other team had a bye. These matches became soon one of the highlights of the week during the winter months. It is said that players would walk up the hill to the ground the night before a match so that by the time the spectators arrived the next day the players were rested and ready to play. This soon proved to be a weapon to all Walhalla teams. When a visiting team came to Walhalla they would have to walk the steep 200 meter track to the ground on game day and by the time they got there they would be 'stuffed'. This is the main reason why the Walhalla Football Club rarly lost a home game.
