Evansdale Football Club (Vic)

General :
Evansdale was a football club in the Hawthorn area of Melbourne. The references to Evansdale being a 'junior' club was not, as it would be today, a reference to an under age team. Rather, it was a reference to the loose grading of clubs in metropolitan Melbourne. Much thanks to the folk at Early History of Hawthorn for an application of research which would probably kill an elephant.
