1903 SEASON NOTES

Match results and details are sourced entirely from various newspapers. Contact the author if you would like a complete list.

Woodville's home ground is always simply called "Woodville". Denis Harlow's book "History of Soccer in South Australia" states that Woodville played "on a ground where the Mareeba Hospital currently stands", which is at 19-21 Belmore Terrace.

========

At the end of the season, three matches have results that are unknown:

Norths    0-1  Souths
Norths    3-0  Woodville
Woodille  0-0  Souths

This is the ladder without these matches:
		P	W	D	L	GF	GA	| Missing
Norths		6	3	1	2	14	 9	| 1-0-1, 3-1
Souths		6	2	1	3	 8	11	| 1-1-0, 1-0
Woodville	6	3	0	3	 7	 9	| 0-1-1, 0-3

- Souths are missing a 1-0 win and a 0-0 draw.
- It is determined that Souths drew 0-0 with Woodville, the only other team missing a draw.

This is the ladder following this judgement:
		P	W	D	L	GF	GA	| Missing
Norths		6	3	1	2	14	 9	| 1-0-1, 3-1
Souths		7	2	2	3	 8	11	| 1-0-0, 1-0
Woodville	7	3	1	3	 7	 9	| 0-0-1, 0-3

- Norths have two matches remaining, therefore, they played both Souths and Woodville, who each have one match remaining.
- It is determined that Souths defeated Norths 1-0 and Norths defeated Woodville 3-0*.

With these results applied, the ladder matches the official ladder that was published.

Although complete match details are unknown, I am extremely confident that all results listed are correct.

--------

*The match that took place on 13 June was reported as having finished Woodville 2-1 Norths by The Advertiser, instead of 2-0. Given the match report provided, I find this quite unlikely. If this is the case, then the match that took place on 5 September would've finished Norths 2-0 Woodville, instead of 3-0.
