THE UMPIRE’S WHISTLE 

Seaford residents will be glad to learn that a football club has been formed here. A letter applying for admission to the Peninsula Seconds Association has already been forwarded to the association secretary, Mr William Cain, of Langwarrin, and the letter will be dealt with at the annual delegates meeting at Somerville early in April. There is not likely to be any objection to Seaford’s admission. Frankston, Tyabb, Langwarrin, Hastings, Somerville, Mornington and Moorooduc will also compete.

1922 – 1929 At the end of the present Scott and Admans Streets on the edge ofthe then swamp at the Seaford Road oval,
