Report

Massillon Tigers won the Ohio League Championship in 1904 with a 7-0-0 record (Wins-Losses-Ties), triumphing 6-5 in darkness in the Final game on Thanksgiving as the Akron Athletic Club’s kicker’s attempts to tie the scores with a last-minute conversion failed from a difficult angle. Akron had scored a touchdown (then worth five points) in the dying seconds despite the Massillon players protests that the scorer had been carried over the line, or that there was an illegal forward pass earlier in the move.

Massillon had racked up huge wins against the other opposition, including a 148-0 win over Marion, which consisted of 26 touchdowns and 18 extra-point kicks. The match on thanksgiving against Akron was the unofficial Championship game, and a tie would have ensured a share of the Championship for Akron.

Massillon Tigers, Shelby AC and Akron AC had on their squads at least half their players who were full-time paid professionals, as the Ohio League moved to full professionalism for the first time. Matches were also played against teams from Western Pennsylvania (Pittsburgh Area) that also provided Professional, or Semi-Professional Football Teams.

History: Formed by Californian Garland Drake in Trim, Co.

They moved back up to the IAFL 1 Conference in 2018, but found the going difficult, forfeiting their last three games. In 2019 the were back in the 2 Conference, losing and tying their first two games before winning their next six. They could not repeat their trick of 2017, however, asthey lost the 2 Bowl 34-26 to the Cill Dara Crusaders in Newbridge.

American Inter-Collegiate Football Results 1869-1875 [Reference: 1]

Note 1: Soccer (Association football) was played with the founding of the Cornell Football Association and Princeton Football Association.

Note 2: Yale, Columbia, Princeton and Rutgers formed the first Inter-Collegiate Football Association in America.

Report

While the origins of Football may go back to Ancient Egypt, Greece, China, Rome or Medieval Britain, or even Renaissance Italy (Florence), the first organised football matches in America, that were played under American rules, were those of the Oneida Football Club in Boston. The Oneida FC were teenagers in Boston who tired of both Rugby and Soccer (Association Football) and developed their own game whereby the running of the former and goal kicking of the latter were employed.

The “Boston Game” as it was dubbed by the Press was deemed important enough for it to be mentioned in a short column in the Boston newspapers. The game of football had previously been played in America back as far as the 1820s, at least in Universities, but was more of a mass brawl intended to initiate freshmen into University and was outlawed by the College authorities.

In 1869 the first Inter-Collegiate game of Football, under the London Football Association rules was played in Rutgers, New Jersey, with Rutgers winning out 6-4 over the Princeton Tigers. The Tigers got revenge the following week under their own rules, which favoured their height advantage winning 8-0.

In 1870 Rutgers beat Columbia, but lost to Princeton. The following year there was no Football (as America sees Football) but plenty of Soccer, with the Cornell Football Association founded in 1870 and the Princeton Football association in 1871.

In 1872, Yale and Princeton both went 1-0-0 (Wins-Losses-Ties), with Columbia posting a 1-2-1 record and Rutgers 1-1-1. Harvard opted out of these games preferring the “Boston Game” and in 1873 those four colleges, minus Harvard formed the first Inter-Collegiate Football Association.

In 1874, Harvard with no opponent in America to play its “Boston Game” against, looked to McGill University in Montreal, which played Rugby. After one game in Harvard which the hosts won 3-0 in the Boston Game, abandoned after 22 minutes due to it being a rout, the following day the teams met under McGill’s Rugby rules, playing out a 0-0 tie.

Harvard liked the idea of a touchdown, as used in McGill’s Rugby Rules, so much they adopted it for their own game and persuaded the Elis of Yale to play against them using the rules in 1875, with Harvard winning 4-0.

In 1876, the “Father of American Football”, Walter Camp started playing, who would later become famous for devising the first American Code of Football, utilizing the Goal Kick, Running with the Ball, Touchdowns, Scrimmage (which meant the creation of the quarterback) and Points for different types of scoring (2 for a Safety, 4 for a Touchdown, 2 for a Goal following a Touchdown “Point After Touchdown” or “Conversion”) and 5 for a Goal from Play (“Field Goal”).

Report

The Irish Rugby Football Union introduced a knockout Top Four Playoff system to the All-Ireland League division 1 in 1998-99, with Cork Constitution becoming the first non-Limerick side to win the Division 1 title defeating Garrowen 14-11 in the Final, and then the following year St. Mary’s, from Rathmines in Dublin, became the first non-Munster club to win, triumphing 25-22 over Landsdowne in the 1999-2000 Final.

The 2000-01 season was cancelled following an outbreak of foot-in-mouth disease, and in 2001-02 Shannon won again, with Ballymena capturing a first league title for Ulster in 2002-03. Shannon won the three-in-a-row from 2003-04 to 2005-06, before Garryowen also won it for Limerick in 2006-07, with Cork Constitution keeping it in Munster in 2007-08. Shannon won on the first try rule after extra-tome in 2008-09.

For the 2009-10 season Division 1 was split into Divisions 1A and 1B.
