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.

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?
