From Bischoff Tinlanders to Parrawe Rovers – a potted history of the Waratah District Football Association
Football was played in and around the Waratah district not quite continuously from the 1880s until 1953. However, organising a competitive competition was a challenging enterprise. At any time, the local competition only had three teams and played under different rules, the main one allowing less than 18 players per side.
