The South Sydney District Rugby League Football Club was established on the 17th of January 1908 at Redfern Town Hall, and played their first NSWRL match against North Sydney at Birchgrove Oval on the 20th of April of that year. They went on to become the competition’s first ever Premiers, and went on to take out their second consecutive title in 1909 after Balmain boycotted the final. The Club only failed to complete the triple after they drew with Newtown in the final and their opponents were crowned winners as they had claimed the minor premiership.
