Mandatory Palestine

Overview

During the season there was little activity with only a handful of matches being played or reported. However, football began to spread throughout the country, being played between schoolboys on field trips, such as a match played in Rishon LeZion between the local Scouts branch and visiting Scouts from Ramla[1] and a match played in Safed between the visiting pupils of Hebrew Reali School and local Arab pupils, which resulted in a 4–1 win for the Reali.[2] In Haifa the manager of the Train Depot arranged an inter-departmental cup match, which needed extra time to be settled.[3]

Known matches

As no governing body existed at the time, and with limited possibilities for travel, the football sections of the Jerusalem and Tel Aviv societies played matches, mostly against teams of British soldiers stationed in the vicinity. Several matches were reported as they were to be played, but no result was given for the match afterwards, and it is not known if the matches were played.
