1908. Our toeballers were very pleased to note that at the opening meeting of the Kingscote Football Club the members were turning their eyes in this direction in the hopes of finding a probable rival. The rivals they will undoubtedly find as soon as the local warriors are licked into shape. Nearly the whole of our team is composed of raw recruits and it will, in a matter of course, take a while for them to learn football. We have a few whom we are prepared to back against anything on the Island for agility combined with roughness, but when these have the rougher part of their play done away with, they will make good players. The local school children have already procured a ball, and the grounding they receive should prove of service to them when they enter the higher ranks.
