The new Adelaide Football Club, formed by the merger of North Adelaide Junior and North Parks, won the premiership in just their second senior season. Eight seasons after joining the SAFA, this was the first time Norwood failed to finish in the top two. It was also the first time that Port Adelaide finished last and collected the wooden spoon. This was the first season in South Australia that quarters were played, allowing ends to be changed four times per match.http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article36327597 FOOTBALL.

For the first time in several years, a senior association football match was played on an outside ground. This was rendered necessary by the exclusion of the clubs from the Adelaide and Kensington ovals, in consequence of the dispute between them and the custodians of the grounds, respecting the percentage of the gate money each was entitled to.FOOTBALL https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/36327597 South Australian Advertiser 2 June 2024 3 May 1886 Round 3 Round 3 Saturday, 8 May 1.5 (1) A 4.7 (4) Alberton Oval 1,500 http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article44567323 FOOTBALL.
