Commonwealth Jubilee Perpetual Trophy – Intra-State Competition (1951 – 1979)

The Commonwealth Jubilee Perpetual Trophy was first awarded in 1951. The trophy was donated by the Commonwealth Jubilee Sporting Committee and the committee was represented by the Chairman Mr E W (Bill) Barwick who presented the perpetual trophy to the TFL League President Mr Merv A S McNeair. The trophy is for perpetual intra-state competition among the senior football bodies of the State (NTFA, NWFU & TFL).

The trophy was not awarded for the years of 1957, 1922 and 1974.

The trophy is a historical piece of Tasmania’s football history as the trophy has been in the hands of players and coaches like Jack Rough, Roy Cazaly, GB ‘Paddy’ Martin, Darrel Baldock, Gordon Bowman, John Devine, Trevor Leo, John Leedham and many more legends of Tasmanian Football. There were some fierce battles between the TFL, NTFA & NWFU through the golden era of Tasmania football in the 50’s, 60’s.
