From The Courier, Ballarat, Saturday, 13 July, 2013:
125 years ago, ie 1888:
Ballarat Football Club journeyed to Richmond and easily defeated the local club. The scores were: Ballarat 10 goals 11 behinds; Richmond 1 goal 8 behinds.
I have attached the full article.. Found it on an old SD memory card! No idea where or how I got it. Credit to the Gippsland Institute of Advanced Education.

What were the numbers of former vfa greats.
Love to hear them.
Pagan at yarraville
McKenna at port
Barrasi at port
Skilton at port
Frosty
Lots more
I have created a page on my website to encourage people to donate copies of old photos to their club, but who is collecting material for the clubs that no longer exist?
I know some local libraries have collections? Does anyone have a recommendation?

Just wondering if any may remember the old Vfa clubs theme songs
I know willi changed theirs 10 years ago.,
Dandy dollar dash was a running race at half time in the VFA games,
Reminiscing with my relatives in the last coupl of days about Norman Yemm who participated in the races.
Does anyone have some good memories or a story on the races?
The VFA used their logo from season 1981 to season 1994
13 years in total
The Vfl used the gold VFL logo from 1995-1999
4years in total
The VFL used the grey/navy shield from 2000-2012
13 years in total
This logo of course was recycled & the former VFL (Now AFL) used this logo from 1976-1989.
What did the VFA use to distinguish itself pre 1981?
Hey everyone
I can not seem to find this info out.
When the vfa was in 2 divisions did division 2 have a best in the league medal?
Or were both the divisions combined?
Was there any other vfa medals/trophies that ceased once they changed to the vfl?
Thanks
