Abstract
-
The Swansea District Football League was developed in the mid 1890s as a natural extension to the swansea District Junior Challenge Cup, which was established on 26th July 1886 at a meeting at the Tenby Hotel, swansea. The Swansea Football club oversaw the junior Cup competition, which it financed. It also gave generously to the District League coffers and oversaw its League championship. Swansea football Club began playing a season 'opener' against a District League XV as early as 1894 and the town's club obviously benefitted from the development of young players in the District League, the best of whom filtered up to the senior club. Forward Tom Morgan was one such player and this is his medal as a Morriston Second Fifteen player in 1905-06, when they were Runners up in the District League. Tom joined the swansea First fifteen in 1909-10 and played for Swansea in the famous win over South Africa on Boxing Day 1912 at St Helen's.
