Sat 28 May 1887 - The Mercury (Hobart, Tas. : 1860 - 1954)
Page 4 - TASMANIA V. ESSENDON.
, TASMANIA V. ESSENDON. .
[FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] - The
Tasmanian team of footballers now in
Victoria met their old friends, the Essendon
Club, on the South Melbourne cricket ground
on Tuesday morning last. It was originally
arranged that the game should be played in
the afternoon, but as the great contest,
Geelong v. Hotham, was to be played in the
afternoon on the East Melbourne ground, it
was - wisely decided that the Tasmanians
should play their match in the morning. The
South Melbourne ground held between 8,000
and 10,000 spectators, and as the visitors
were going to play it was deemed a fitting
time to open the new grand stand. Tasmania
had numerous supporters, and
several times one would have to think that
the assemblage was a real Tasmanian
one. The selection of our team resulted
in Hall, Hehir, Reid, Johnstone, and Ryde,
being left out. During the first quarter,
Martin, a Launceston representative, met
with a nasty accident, having had his nasal
organ seriously injured through coming into
collision with an opponent. He did not play
during the second quarter, and after being
attended to by a doctor, 'Martin gamely
came on the ground and played during the
second part of the game. Shortly after 11
o'clock the bell announced that a start was to
be made, and Cundy winning the toss from
Nally, who captained Essendon in the
absence of Fleming, who was injured in the
intercolonial match
The Play
Commenced by the home team kicking
towards the goal near the members' pavilion.
Bagley marked the oval, and sent it
out of bounds. Worrell next had the ball,
and made a fine run down the ground.
Calder marked to Meader, who played an
Sinclair, the latter placing a goal to Essendon's
credit. For a white play was confined
near to Tasmanian territory, and a mark
from White to Meader, then to Caldwell,
saw the latter score a behind for the home
team. A little kick off by Bagley followed,
and being well shepherded by Nicholson,
Bagley ran the ball up fully three parts of
the ground, amidst loud and tremendous
cheering. The scene of operations then
changed to the eastern wing, and our boys
gradually edged in on their opponents'
ground, but Worrall was about, and with
his usual neatness sent the ball out
of danger. Burn obtained a mark, but anything
in the shape of getting a goal was
spoilt by Ward fumbling the ball. Vautin
marked brilliantly, and sending the sphere
well forward it was met by Worrall
who once more showed the islanders how
be could run. The Tasmanians continued
to give their opponents a deal of trouble,
and from some chain-marking Edwards
landed the ball in front of the home team's
goalc~Their_effortB to score, however, were
nipped in the bud by Nally making a run
along the eastern wing and kicking the ball
out of bounds. scrimmaging ensued, and
for being pushed from behind Rout was,
awarded a free kick. He sent the ball on to
White, who gave it to Meader, and the
latter was about to do a run when he was
captured by Seabrook, who, getting the ball,
sent it into the centre, and from there it was
taken close to the Essendon fortress. Burn
made a fine mark, and trying a place kick,
scored first behind for Tasmania. Stubbs
made a good a run for Essendon, and after
getting his kick the Tasmanians indulged
in a series of little marks. Cundy
finally got a mark, and taking a run once
more placed the Essendon backs on the defensive.
Worrall and Nally worked assiduously,
and smartly kicked the ball high up
in the air, White marking it. This player
smartly ran it down to the Tasmanian goal,
and only for a free kick being awarded to
Stuart, Essendon would certainly have had
a goal. Stuart marked to Edwards, the
latter sending the ball out of bounds. Stubbs
failed to-pi event Goddard from giving a
mark to Adkisson, and from the latter it
went"to'Cundy, who" sent the ball right in
front of the Essendon goal. McGuinness was
here awarded a free kick, and, strange to
say, landed the ball the wrong side of the
post. Play on the east wing ended, and a
mark from Rout to Pender would have
been dangerous had it not been for
the timely interference of Goddard.
The ball travelled from wing to wing, and
Adkisson marking it to Vautin the latter,
in mistake, gave it to M. Rout who did not
hesitate about passing on to Sinclair, the
latter placing the ball out of bounds. Free'
kick against Bagley was given to Scbirc, he
passing it to Caldwell, and Calder being
next entrusted with the ball only scored a
behind for Essendon. Bagley tried another
little kick off, but he was too closely
watched, and the outcome was that Cald-
well seized the ball and having a hurried
shot for goal but the post. Burn and
Edwards showed some good play, and the
ball going out of bounds, the Essendon followers
began to rush. Coming into Tasmanian
ground the leather was carried away
by Stuart, who, after making a little
run, marked to Burn, and Rout saved
i any further trespassing on the home
territory. Cundy and Meader showed some
brilliant play in the centre, and as the bell
rang out quarter time Essendon had 4
behinds.; Tasmania, 2 behinds. Shortly
before this Martin was carried off the
ground, having had his nose seriously injured,
and during the second quarter Martin
was unable to play. The play changed with
the ends, and Tasmania rallying, the leather
, travelled from wing to wing, until Desailly
| got the ball in front of the Tasmanian sticks.
i Meader was then given a mark about Syds,
; off, and caused a derisive cheer to be given
through kicking the ball along the ground.
in The Essendon followers then kept their

opponents' backs on the lookout, and things
were anything but comfortable until Seabrook
marked to Edwards, who lost no
time in allowing Burn to have possession
of the bull. The latter's kick, however,
was spoilt by Rout, who, getting the
ball, stopped further aggression by a good
run along the western wing. Being kicked
to centre of ground Adkisson marked splendidly
from three Essendon men, and his kick
went very close to the goal. Worrall
marked to White, and the ball went on from
one to another until Calder got it, and
essayed a shot, being unsuccessful, as
Williamson, being on the alert, made the
best mark of the day, amidst well earned
cheers from the spectators. The ball
hovered round the home goal, and, had it
not been for the umpire calling the ball back,
things would not have been very pleasing to
the island representatives. As it was,
White scored a behind for Essendon. Vautin
once more distinguished himself by making
a clean mark from the kick off. This player
gave the oval to Burn, then it went on to
Goddard, Stuart ending with a good kick.
Worrall retaliated almost immediately,
and, in endeavouring to relieve his
goal, kicked the ball out of bounds,
the umpire giving a free kick against him
for so doing. Goddard smartly kicked the
hall off the ground, and dropping into
Vautin's arms it was passed on to Groves,
back again to Vautin, and. then on to
Edwards. The result was that the Essendon
goal was besieged by the Tasmanian,
and despite the efforts of the red and blacks
Macleod landed the ball in close proximity
to the home goal. The scuffle that ensued
was most exciting, and the " barrackers "
were not backward in rallying their
favourites, up. Tasmania got the best of
things, Ryan placing first goal of the day to
their credit, Ryan was again instrumental,
and running the ball along the wing smartly
turned round and marked it to Macleod, the
latter, amidst tremendous cheering, scoring
second goal for Tasmania. Rout was
very conspicuous for Essendon, and once
more made a good run and give
and take play was kept up till half time
when the game stood Tasmania 2 goals 2
behinds ; Essendon, 6 behinds. Martin
played during the second half of the game,
but did not attempt to go into the ruck.
Play resuming, Meader got a mark and
sent the ball along only to be captured by
Goddard, who smartly returned it from
whence it came. Harvey was not to be denied
and marked to Meader, and vice versa.
Cundy'grandly saved the island goal, by
marking to Goddard, who took an opportunity
of indulging in some sprinting.
Martin was given a mark, and after having
his kick he saw Beggs run the ball out of
danger along the east wing Edwards and
Goddard on the one side, and Meader and
White on the other were doing yeoman
service, and through the agency of the two
latter Vittoria got another behind. The
Tasmanian followers retaliated, and only for
Nicholson (Essendon) Tasmania were going
the right way about to kick a third goal.
Ward prevented Meader from taking the
ball to near to the goal, and responding
gamely, Tasmania got another behind
through the agency of Ward. Kicked off,
Stubbs made a really splendid run, but on
coming to Burn he met a foeman worthy of
his steel and Stubbs being anxious to euchre
ms steel, and owners being anxious concern
Burn, the latter pitched him over and over,
and for awhile Stubbs had occasion to lay
on the ground in order to recover himself.
A rush on the Tasmanian goal by Essendon
was checkmated by Williamson, who was
marking splendidly. Dunlop passed the ball
to Macleod, who scored a behind. Essendon
responded, but their efforts proved
futile, Bagley coming out with one of his
sensational runs, and Ward obtaining possession
of the leather, sent up another behind
to Tasmania's credit. Meader was working
like a Briton for Essendon, and had it not
been for Bagley, something dangerous might
have happened to Tasmania's goal. Dunlop
kicked the ball out of bounds, and the
umpire made it his duty to give a free kick
to Caldwell. The result was that the great
goal kicker sent the ball uncomfortably close
to the Tasmanian goal. Bagley was all
there, and treated the spectators to another
good display of running and dodging with
the ball. Essendon continued to attack the
visitors' sticks, and, from a scuffle, White
got a mark, and made such good use of his
chance that Essendon obtained their first
goal. The play began to get very exciting,
and the crowd were loud in their applause
to the visitors. The oval being sent off from
the centre, the home team played with a
determination, but Cundy, assisted by
Deane, Seabrook, and Martin, got the ball
out of bounds near the Essendon goal.
Vautin quickly marked to Burn, and
the ball went across to the east wing,
and three-quarter time being called,
Tasmania ' had. 2, goals 7. behinds ;
Essendon, 1 goal' 6 behinds. ~ The last
quarter was very exciting, and both teams
showed some excellent play, although at
times several of the players got very rough.
Martin was given a free kick, and Nicholson
then showed out by marking well. Wing
play ensued, and a free kick was given
against the Tasmanian Juvenile, Vautin.
Burn was next entrusted with the ball, and
giving it to Ryan, the latter passed it on to
Macleod, who a marked to an Essendon
player. Meader sent the ball forward, and
Martin, Bagley, and Atkins were prominent
in saving the island goal from a downfall,
The leather was sent to the centre of the
ground, and Tasmania getting too close to
Essendon territory, were driven back by
Worrall, Nally and Stubbs. Caldwell got a
mark, and at a distance of ' fully 60 yards,
sent the oval past the post. The Tasmanian
goal was now the scene of some exciting
play, Cundy, Bagley Williamson, Nicholson,
Edwards and Vautin were foaming in their
endeavours to relieve their goal. On the
other side, Meader, White Worrall, Rout,
and Sinclair were doing their utmost to
score the much coveted goal, The ball was
kicked out of the scrimmage and marked
by Caldwell. This player took great trouble
in placing the ball, and as he kicked it
Essendon supporters jumped with joy, the
oval going safely through the sticks. Both
teams played a fine game to the finish, and
although a little rough, the tempers of the
players were not strained. Worrall played
splendidly for Essendon, and through his
agency the Tasmanian goal was again attacked.
Bagley, Nicholson, and William-
son returned the ball. Adkisson marked to
Martin, and immediately after a free kick
was given against Cundy. Groves passed
the ball to AdkisBOn, who sent it on to Martin,
the latter sending it out of bounds. The
ball travelled from end to end, and neither
side had any decided advantage, the final
result being Tasmania, 2 goals, 7 behinds ;
Essendon, 2 goals 7 behinds. Thus ended a
close and exciting game, everybody being
pleased at the form shown by the tight little
islanders. For Essendon Worrall played a
brilliant game, and he received great help
from Nally, Rout, Stubbs, White, Sinclair,
Meader, Desailly, and Beggs. Bagley
undoubtedly deserves the palm on the Tasmanian
side, and next to him must be mentioned
Vautin, Cundy, Goddard, Edwards,
Ryan, McGinniss, Martin, Burn, Stuart,
and Macleod. Mr. Thewlis made a fair and
impartial field umpire, and taught our
players a needful lesson in awarding free
kicks against (five players who wilfully
kicked issued out of bounds. In the
evening the visitors were entertained to a
dinner by the Essendon Club, and a most
pleasant evening was spent. Songs and
recitations were, given, and, to use a jolly
term, everything went off as merry as a
marriage bell.
, Life, a Melbourne sporting and society
paper, publishes, amongst other engravings,
the portraits of W. H. Cundy and R. Talbot,
captains respectively of the Tasmanian and
Geelong teams. The first is an excellent'
likeness, as wood engravings go, and presumably
the second is good also. The letter
E ress reference says : " Mr. Cundy was
born in Yorkshire, England, but came out to
Australia when very young. His juvenile
idea was first tutored to shoot the leather
when he played as a junior with St. Patrick's
College Club. He afterwards played with
Ballarat until 1878, and went from there to
Tasmania where he has since played for
Hobart. It was Mr. Cundy who introduced
and fostered the Victorian game in Tasmania,
and his popularity as a footballer is
testified to by the hearty manner in which
his fellow players elected him gaffer of the
representative twenty. Mr. Cundy is a good
all-round athlete, being champion runner of
Tasmania, and an excellent hand with an
oar, having filled a position in an intercolonial
eight ; he is a useful man upon the
cricket field. Mr. Talbot is another of those
Geelong natives who seem to take naturally
to our favourite winter game. . He has
grown up, we may almost say, in the
famous Pivotonians team, and has worked
his way to the present position by sheer
hard work. His style of play is very simple :
it consists in wiring in at the start and
keeping at it. Mr. Talbot has generally
played as a follower, and those who under-
take to neutralise his efforts during a match
are apt to become weary. The Geelong team
have shown good judgment in electing so
capable a player as captain, as example is
everything by and if last year's premiers
follow in their leader's footsteps, figuratively
speaking, they will not be far behind when
the coveted honour is next awarded.
