Kaeo Football Association

Kaeo Football Association (Mr. James Halliday, secretary.) This association was formed for the purpose of encouraging football in the district. A sum of £30 was voted as a prize, and in 1897 six teams entered for competition, viz., Ngawha, Kaupurangi, Kenana, Kaeo, Tokirau, and Raukura. With the exception of Kaeo they were all native teams. It is said that Maoris play a most friendly game and can teach European players a good lesson in that respect. Neatly attired to a man in the colours of their respective clubs, the Maori footballers are a credit to their several districts.
