Unbelievably Sydney football has witnessed the mistaken early endings to matches over the years but there was one year when it happened in the preliminary final. Then, incredibly enough, when the match was replayed because of it, the bell AGAIN rang early. Read of what really happened.

1975 NSW Team v Tasmania in Hobart

This NSW team was drawn from right around the state and boasted quite a number of local football stars. It was coached by Western Suburbs FC c-c, John Caulfield.

The team were soundly beaten by Tasmania 22-19 (151) to 7-7 (49) in a very rain effected pitch at North Hobart and yet the following year in a return match played at the Old RAS Showground at Moore Park, NSW won by 10 points 18-23 (131) to 18-13 (121).

We do not have any other photos of the NSW team from either year, so if you can lay your hands on one we would appreciate a high resolution scan of the image.
