Cricket match on Kwato Island near Samarai ca. 1905

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    Cricket was introduced in Papua New Guinea (PNG) by missionaries from the London Missionaries Society in the early 1900s. Initially, matches were not always played with strict rules, with teams fielding over fifty players a common occurrence. The game became very popular among the Papuan coastal villages where these missionaries and early British explorers first landed. There is still conjecture about where the first game of cricket was played, with Milne Bay, Oro, and Hanuabada the three (3) most likely areas where the first cricket match was played on the shores of PNG.

    In the past, matches were not always played to strict rules, with teams of more than fifty players a common occurrence. Cricket did not arrive in the Territory of New Guinea until Australia took over the administration of the territory under a United Nations mandate. Cricket in rural areas tended to be played mostly by the indigenous population, whilst in urban areas such as Port Moresby the game was played mostly by the British and Australian expatriate population, and competition for clubs in the city was started in 1937. A team of nine expatriates and two indigenous players played in Papua New Guinea's first international, against Australia in 1972. Since its beginnings cricket was picked up naturally in the Motuan areas of Papua New Guinea, most recognizably the village of Hanuabada. Hanuabada village is located in the outer suburbs of Port Moresby, where cricket is played every day by small children to their national stars, every afternoon the streets are flooded with boys playing cricket, this was also where the Liklik Kricket Competition was started in PNG. It may be for these reasons more than half of the PNG national cricket team is from Hanuabada village. Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papua_New_Guinea_national_cricket_team

Tennis club members and spectators at Yeronga, Brisbane,1927

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    One of the oldest operating tennis clubs in Queensland One of the few tennis clubs remaining in Brisbane that manages to operate as a community club. Situated in Yeronga Park on Brisbane's inner southside and only a few kilometres from the CBD, the club offers members and the general community unequalled facilities expected of a modern centre. The main interest as a Club is to ensure good tennis is played. With a heritage dating back to 1907, we still achieve sound financial management with voluntary roles.

From East Avenue to Killarney in one leap?

  • Niall McAuley said:
    There is an East Avenue Road in Killarney now, but it is not on the 25" or the 1930s Cassini
  • Niall McAuley said:
    The catalogue has an undigitized photo titled East Avenue Hall, showing band on stage, Killarney, Co. Kerry
  • derangedlemur said:
    Is it the Jehovas, do you think, or just a random hall?
  • derangedlemur said:
    Niall McAuley Just saw that as well, which suggests not a kingdom hall.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    I see a reference saying this hall was where the cinema is now (and on the 1930s Cassini) in Google Books search.
