The history of sport in New England

My latest History Revisited column is on surfing: History revisited – how an era began. That reminded me that I need to do something about pulling together the limited writing I have done on the history of sport in New England.

To this point, the posts are:

• 19 August 2011  A visit to a Cessnock boxing tent
• 13 October 2011 The importance of tennis
• 30 October 2011 Grafton to Inverell cycling classic turns 51
• 10 July 2013 History Revisited - our love affair with racing
• 21 August 2013  History revisited - rhyme and reason for bicycle mania
• 4 September 2013 History revisited - punching sky high for big dreams in region – boxing
• 3 October 2013 History revisited - New England rode high in rodeo past
• 30 April 2014 History revisited – how an era began surfing
• 28 May 2014 History revisited – remnants of a past era – side saddle

I will try to add to this post as I go along.
