Uralla Times and District Advocate, Saturday 21 August 1920, page 2
Soccer. — The first match under soccer rules was played at Uralla on Wednesday, when Armidale team visited us, winning by 3 goals to 1. The game proved very interesting. Holdaway, who played the game a lot in England, was the pick of the locals, while j Scrimgeour, who is also a veteran, Murray, Ryan, Love and Walden showed out. Billy Ryan scored for Uralla. It is intended to play a return match, and players wanting a game are asked to see Mr Holdaway. The latter has been selected to play against the Bananaland team in Armidale, Monday.
Rocky and Uralla played a draw. The match, which was watched by a large crowd, provided ding dong play throughout. Nelson played a great game for the Hill people. Paddy Egan received a bad bump on the nose, which necessitated surgical treatment.

That was the most popular phrase among the Soccer people last week; but they certainly overlooked the main fact, and that was the popularity of Soccer on the Coast. My way of reasoning, is give the public quality, then you are on a winner. However, the result has quite justified the action of the committee. The crowd was almost a record, the game itself was a splendid exhibition, and the S. Coast team deserves every credit for their win, as the visitors are a good team, and especially fast. Queensland played in their State, colors, maroon, which, by the way, is the S. Coast colors. The S. Coast boasted black and white. Mr. Davies, M.L.A., officially welcomed the visitors on the ground, and kicked off. Queensland forced, and soon had the ball in the locals' goal, but J. Masters cleared.
