On Saturday,July 28th, 1888, the Essendon Football Club played a team on it's home ground at the East Melbourne Cricket Ground.
The final scores were,Essendon 7 goals-16 behinds,the other side 3 goals-5 behinds.

The team they played wasn't from Victoria or anywhere else from Australia.


Name the team EFC played that day?

You're bloody banned from this s.e.b;)


England is sort of correct,but it was actually a Great Britain side made up of English,Irish,Welsh and Scottish football players who came over in 1888 to tour and play football games that were a mixure of Rugby/British and Australian Rules against teams in Victoria,S.A and N.S.W.

Of course no such tour would be complete without visiting and playing one of the strongest and most famous clubs at the time..Essendon.:)
 
Nice angle B-Bomber but only one has played in a premiership.



Next clue. The fruit of their respective loins have each played for Essendon. One of these off spring averages exactly 1 goal a game and both off spring have christian names starting with letter 10.
