Round 11 Round 12 Round 13 Round 14 Round 15 Round 16 Round 17 Round 18 Round 19 (Postponed) FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION MATCHES for SATURDAY, 22 September. At Montefiore — Victorian v. South Adelaide. At South Park— Port v. South Park Football. — Two Association matches are announced for today one between the Port Adelaide and South Park Clubs on the ground of the latter, and the other between the Victorian and South Adelaide Clubs at Montefiore Hill. The latter match will decide the question of the championship of the season, and will, it is to be hoped, be largely attended, as a hat is to be passed round at half-time for the benefit of the sufferers by the Indian famine. In consequence of the inclement weather on Saturday, 22 September, the football matches which were to have been played between the South Adelaide and Victorian Clubs and the Port Adelaide and South Park Clubs were postponed.
Round 19 Earlier in the season the teams played a scoreless drew at South's home ground. Victorians had only lost one game which was against Port Adelaide. South Adelaide was clearly the best club in the competition during the course of the season being undefeated, but an inexplicable and very costly lapse in form in the final game of the season, together with one devastating error by the goalkeeper in this vital final match, saw it lose to Victorian which gave the two clubs an equal record of only losing one game.

Intercolonial Association Matches The proposed inaugural inter-colonial match between Associations was cancelled because the venue owners Melbourne University refused to allow admission fees to be charged. The match was then proposed to be moved to the Civil Service Cricket Ground, located at Flinders Park (near the current site of Rod Laver Arena). However, a suitable date could not be agreed upon as the SAFA wanted July 14 and the VFA July 21 therefore the match was cancelled. Saturday 11 August
