While this might seem a rather puerile attempt to create historical conflict, the argument needs to be had out.
Who owns this trophy?
- The last carnival was won by Victoria in 1960
- The last state championship was won by NSW in 1964.
Check out Mark Boric's blog for more details.
Mark suggests that the trophy is for carnivals
Whereas Paul Nicholls thinks that it belongs to NSW as the most recent champions.
Illawarra Daily Mercury, Tuesday 8 June 1954, page 12
The trophy resides at Football Victoria on account of Victoria winning in 1960. Maybe we should just cancel the A League and resurrect the national championships and play for the possession of the beautiful trophy (value equiv to $25,000 today).
