Spurred on by more than a pint or two of Ballarat Bitter, 33 members enrolled in the Club and vowed to commence practice immediately for matches against Maryborough.
Mr Casey, the Maryborough captain was present, and suggested that Avoca should add caps to their uniform.
Avoca's captain, Mr J Martin, agreed to provide his players with blue caps with white piping to match the teams light blue Guernsey shirts.
