Info needed re Richmond Port Adelaide practice game in Broken Hill

[Rosy]

This might be drawing a long straw but I've been asked if I can find some info for a person researching all games played at Broken Hll.

On the 8th March 1975 Richmond played Port Adelaide in a practice match at Jubilee Oval, Broken Hill. The person wants to know who the umpires were.

Hopefully someone has kept the souvenir booklet of the game and can help out.

Hafey coaching us in our golden era and playing a SAFL team.

Hi Rosy

Two suggestions- your friend could try the Broken Hill newspaper in teh State Librrary, or perhaps contact the Richmond Museum next week, and see if in their archives they have the record.

I myself am researching every Richmond game to ever be played in both Seniors, Reserves,Under 19's and Little League (including practice matches), so if I also stumnble across anything I will advise

Rosie, the field umpire on that day was Robin Bennett.Not sure who the boundary umpires were but, the goal umpires were P Aubert & A Clare. Hope this helps!

Great piece of trivia added to the knowledge bank of the world.
It always tickles my fancy that there is still one cricket Test where the umpires are not known.

Tigerdave, can you please tell me that we won that match? There is a Port supporter at work who clings to such trivia to support his claim that the SANFL was the equal of the VFL in that era. I know he would take the news badly if we won, even if it was just a practice match.

For those interested in Port v Richmond club matches in the 70's there is a good account of one here >

An excerpt;

In retrospect the competition can be viewed as an important stage in the progression towards a national club competition, a process which can be discerned as having begun as early as the 1950s, and which initially at any rate had its proponents in each of the 4 main football states. Ultimately, of course, for a variety of reasons, most of them economic, the process was hi-jacked by the VFL, giving rise to the nominally national, but in essence overridingly Victorian-oriented, Australian Football League, as well as to a widely accepted 'history' of the game which purveys mythology in preference to truth.

Back in 1971, however, such sophisticated duplicity still lay a few years in the future, and the 8 clubs which contested the Rothmans Channel 7 Cup at Subiaco Oval did so on a purportedly equal footing. Between them those 8 clubs boasted one of the richest collections of talent ever brought together on Western Australian soil.
