Newcastle: Looking for Foundations

I've started looking seriously at the Newcastle region's deep history in the game. 

I've consulted 
1. Mosely, 
2. Sid Grant and Harry Hetherington's 'History of Soccer in New South Wales' and 
3. the NNSW Heritage Cup website in gathering this information.

The first task has been to create a database of all the so-called 'heritage clubs' in the region, those over 100 years old. Using the Heritage Cup website we created a rudimentary database of the following.

Name	Founded
Minmi Rangers/Wanderers FC	1884
Wallsend FC	1887
Adamstown Rosebud	1889
West Wallsend FC	1891
Edgeworth Eagles FC	1892
Merewether Advance SFC	1894
Dudley Redhead United SFC	1896
Cessnock City Hornets FC	1907
Wetson Bears FC	1907
Lake Macquarie City Roosters FC	1912
New Lambton FC	1917
Maryland Fletcher FC

1. Minmi Rangers/ inaugural club.
   Also known as Thistles/Squashers/Clippers/Starlights/Wanderers 
   Won a raft of competitions -- the Gardiner Cup in 1892 -- club collapses before ww2
2. Wallsend FC --- Rovers/Royals/Reds --
   Aside from Ellis Cup in 1889, didn't really start winning much until the 1920s 14 Major Premierships [11 Runners-Up], 4 Minor Premierships, 2 Club Championships, 65 Cups [13 Runners-Up],
3. Adamstown Rosebud (momentarily Shamrocks)
4. West Wallsend Athletic/Bluebells/Mazeppas/woodpeckers
5. Edgeworth Eagles -- previously Young Wallsend
6. Merewether Advance
7. Dudley Redhead -- a merger of two clubs
8. Cessnock (one time Bluebells)
9. Weston Magpies/Albion/Bears
   founded 1907 in 1909 changed to black and white stripes under the influence of Geordie Bill Hindmarsh. Has to change to the Bears when the Maitland Magpies enter the competition
10. Lake Macquarie
11. New Lambton

The second task has been to revisit Mosely

Soccer in the Newcastle District had been organised by the Northern British FA since 1887. By 1900 there were fifteen teams playing in official competitions [6 of them survive] and by 1909 twenty-eight teams. [8 of those survive] In 1910 the Wallsend and District British FA was formed and took over from the Northern British FA. In its first year the new body raised the District’s number of soccer teams to fifty-two.
