1912 Victorian soccer season

The 1912 Victorian soccer season was the fourth competitive season of soccer in the Australian state of Victoria, under association with the governing body of Football Victoria. The season consisted of one league 'Victorian Division 1', that is now recognized as the National Premier Leagues Victoria. At the conclusion of the 1911 season South Melbourne had folded resulting in only six clubs to participate in 1912, however five new clubs were introduced to the league bringing the league total to eleven clubs, the highest number in its history at the time. These new clubs consisted of Albert Park, Birmingham Victoria, Footscray, Melbourne Thistle and Sunshine. Along with club inclusions, there were also two name changes in which Prahran and Williamstown both changed their official names to 'Prahran City' and 'Yarraville respectively. Yarraville were crowned as the premiers, for the second time in their history. The calendar season also saw the fourth tournament of the Dockerty Cup, in which Yarraville defeated regional club Wonthaggi Rangers 3–0[1] making it the first time in the club's history to have achieved both winning the league and cup in the same season. It is alleged that there was a second league known as 'Division 2' however this remains unknown.[2]

gollark: Also, you're doing it wrong.
gollark: Except you're using it wrong, and it probably slows you a lot, and most stuff should support AES or it's broken, and it's not been updated since july.
gollark: Yes, that is also bad.
gollark: Then you should use a faster encryption library, and also go to a company which allows you to remove technical debt.
gollark: In that case I'd say you're doing it wrong. You can send a random bit of data, stick it in an associative array or whatever stupid thing it's called mapping it to whatever this secret is, and then API 2 can take the random data, and find the secret in that associative array.
