  • The History of the Yallourn Soccer Club EPISODE 2
    The History of the Yallourn Soccer Club EPISODE 2 1920 - 1930 SOME "NEED TO KNOWS" CONCERNING HISTORICAL SOCCER IN VICTORIA 1. Competition Structure The competition structure of soccer in Victoria was based on the European experience and this was to be expected as the early administrators of the game were migrants. The basic competition was the "League Championship" a home and away competition, the premier team was the one that finished on top of the league with the most points (and better goal difference if teams finished on the same number of points). There was no final four and finals matches as played in Australian Rules competitions. There were other competitions through the season of equal import, these were "cup" or "shield" competitions that had great status. A team not going well in the league competition may have a dream run in cup or shield competition1. There could be a number of cup and shield competitions available in the one League, for instance in the Wonthaggi League, teams entered into the Hospital Cup, Taberners' Cup and Dockerty Cup, as well as their bread and butter League title. In addition, there was the annual "international series". This was where national teams were drawn up from players of the various nationalities participating in the league. For instance, in the Latrobe Valley during the 1950's the international teams playing in this Sunday competition were Australia, England, Scotland, Holland, Malta, Italy and "the rest of Europe". Finally there were the interleague competitions usually played at the end of the season (an early trophy was the Carrick Cup and later the Federation Cup was introduced).

  • Football Federation Australia
    FOOTBALL FEDERATION AUSTRALIA ‘NEW LEAGUES WORKING GROUP’ RECOMMENDATIONS REPORT 31 MARCH 2019 Introduction and Overview by the Chair As was the case with the Congress Review Working Group work in 2018, this report and the associated recommendations of the New Leagues Working Group are the result of hundreds of hours of work over the past 6 weeks by the individuals listed at the end of this report, many of whom are volunteers. The unity of purpose comes from a shared passion for outcomes that deliver for the good of Australian football. The legal, constitutional, commercial and social issues that underpin the New Leagues Working Group mandate are in many places intertwined, hence added complexity for the NLWG in delivering on this mandate within such a short timeframe. Full credit to all those involved. The calibre and depth and breadth of the presentations, submissions, analysis and debate over the last six weeks is singularly impressive. PART 1 - NEW LEAGUES WORKING GROUP 1. Pursuant to Special Resolution 2 passed by the Members of Football Federation Australia Limited (FFA) at the General Meeting held on 2 October 2018, the New Leagues Working Group (NLWG) was established to consider and propose an Alternate A-League Governance Model for the Professional Australian Football Leagues, comprising of the A- League, W-League and the Y-League. (the Professional Leagues). A copy of that resolution is attached as Appendix 1. 2. In terms of NLWG members, Item 2 of Special Resolution 2 provides that: “The NLWG will comprise of the following members: (a) nine (9) Presidents of State Body Members; (b) five (5) A-League Club Chairs; (c) two (2) members of the PFA executive; (d) two (2) members of the Women’s Football Council; (e) two (2) FFA Directors; (f) members of FFA management, as required; and (g) an independent, non-voting Chair.” Final Report - 31 March 2019 Page | 2 3.
