Football and Other Diversions in Dumbleyung Lake Grace by Bill Trevenen

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Wear to book corners and edges. Inscribed by author.

This book covers perhaps the most important feature of country life - football in Western Australia.

It used to be said that a good pub and a good footy team made for a successful country town. The history of football in Dumbleyung to Newdegate districts (1905 - 1970) is the primary basis of this book. The inter-club rivalries, the politics, the local umpires with their own rules, the great grand finals and carnival battles and just about every player individually profiled - it's all there and much more.
