About this objectMolong Football Club Cap 1903. Cap of Honour for the best player in the Molong during the season offered by MR R. J. Baker of the Molong Argus. Presented to Mr Albert William Couch in the first session of the team.
This football cap is a fine example of an international sporting tradition of awarding caps to recognised players. It is of local significance to Molong representing the beginning of a sporting culture and community social life in the early 1900’s . The cap and associated group football photo and Molong Football History tell the story of the start of the Molong Football Club and early football history in the district.
