    No, I don't have any ladders from that competition. But, I do have all the finals match results from 1987 onwards.

    Churinga were the old scholars team from the Launceston State High School (now called Launceston College) that played in the Northern Amateur competition from 1933 to 1979. They played out of Invermay Park, their colours were green, red and black. Their final match was a 19.21 (135) to 6.5 (41)...

    A former player told me Brighton didn't have a reserves or colts coach still and that PK was having to shoulder most of the workload himself. A whole stack of players have left apparently and gone to other clubs in the Old Scholars and probably a few in the Community League. Not good signs...

    I can believe that. When the delivery was good and he was on an inferior opponent he could take bundles of marks and could have a frightful number of shots at goal but his accuracy could be quite questionable. He could probably drag in 20+ marks a game and have that many shots. It was found in...

    They train every week at the TCA during the football season, same as Hobart does unless the ground is closed by the Hobart City Council due to inclement weather or poor ground conditions. Same rule applies to both tenant clubs. Niether club train at the ground during the bulk of the pre-season...

    Now you've just confirmed you are talking utter bollocks! Hobart's Under 18s are playing away at Huonville this week. That's been known ALL SEASON. There was NEVER any "offer". SIMPLE FACT — If the ground was available on the Friday evening, I'm quite sure the clubs would've come to some sort of...

    It's got f*** all to do with Hobart you absolute clown! The simple fact is that the Old Scholars Association didn't have a gap week between the roster series and finals this particular year and the SFL rostered Hobart's final home match of the season for that particular day. There are three...

    Byrne holds the record for most goals in a statewide league game in Tasmania with 17 when he played with Glenorchy. Kicked 17.9 (and 4 OOF) and missed Peter Hudson's all-time TFL record by one goal! Had the chance to kick 100 that same season, and you guessed it, last kick of the last match of...

    Ah so it is right then? Pretty much a done deal was how it was explained to me, I was just quite surprised as I'd not heard anything about University's involvement until yesterday. I know there was a fair bit of consternation among those that I was speaking with that if it does go ahead, and if...

    I did hear today that it's highly likely that there will be an amalgamation of the Sandy Bay Lions JFC and University to join the SFL next year. I would presume that they would join the Community League if that gets passed at the voting stage. No idea on name and colours though, probably blue...

    72 matches. I predict they'll either knock off St Virgils or Hutchins at some point. The previous record for the Old Scholars FA solely, was St Virgils with 55 from 2015–2019. Claremont are currently at 29-consecutive losses, NTFA Division Two club, University Lions (formerly Uni-Mowbray) are at...

    Happened at the 28 minute mark of the final quarter, a Claremont player got injured and a trainer and a runner went to help walk the player off, the trainer slipped over, got back up to help walk the player off, staggered and collapsed near the point post just below the scoreboard operator's box...

    VFL Round postponed 1963

    I know it used to be a common occurrence in Tasmania up until the mid 1970s to have rounds postponed because of poor weather conditions or grounds being unplayable. The TFL had their own wet weather committee. After that they just played on regardless of the conditions. The last one to be...

    Sounds like Hutchins have lost a fair few? At this stage, and barring a terrible injury crisis to either team but I think it'll be DOSA and OHA playing in the grand final again this season. Not much between either side again this year. St Virgil's, Hutchins and Uni appear to have taken a step...

    Having watched both closely, yes they would. Although the margin wouldn't be huge. I watched both sides in back-to-back weeks. First half against Lindisfarne, Hobart had Lindisfarne clearly rattled, being a very young side, they just didn't know how to take advantage of it being up ten minutes...

    Must admit mate, I thought the same thing. Probably wasn't the best advertisement for the new "Community League" as a stand alone season opener to have a talent laden reigning premier playing up against a team of kids with no experience who have been down for several years. Mind you, you'd...

    I don't know. It wasn't without precedent that clubs all disbanded when a league collapsed.

    Further to that, good some great info for you. North Derwent and Upper Derwent were not the same club. They bore no relationship to each other at all. Upper Derwent played at Bushy Park up until 1964 and then at Gretna from 1965 onwards and folded in 1986 when the STFA folded. Founded in the...
