	Extracurricular Matches
		As soon as football began to be conducted on an organised basis with the establishment in 1877 of the VFA and SAFA, a desire arose, among teams on both sides of the colony border, to engage in tests of strength against, and develop social contact with, their intercolonial counterparts.
		Between 1897 and 1907 teams representing the Ballarat Football Association, as it was known at the time, engaged VFL representative sides in a total of 21 matches, known as 'Tests', winning 5 of the first 7, and 9 in total.
		Football in Broken Hill was arguably stronger than anywhere else in New South Wales for most of the first half of the twentieth century.

		Lockett, who hailed from Ballarat, made his league debut with St Kilda in 1983, and by his second season, when he booted 77 goals, it was obvious that the Saints had a special talent on their hands.

		When the Victorian Football League began in 1897 they appointed a field umpire and two goal umpires to each match a situation that was maintained for the first seven seasons.
		The speed of and skill level of football had increased to such a point that it was becoming more and more difficult for one field umpire to be in position to adjudicate.
		Thankfully at the Eastern Football League our umpiring numbers are sufficient to have two field, two boundary and two goal umpires appointed to all Senior games and some Reserves grades.
