History and use
Members of Australian railway institutes participated in local sporting competitions and representative sides were chosen to compete against other interstate railway institutions. Sports included football, rifle shooting, tennis, table tennis and cricket.

Cricket was the biggest of the sports, with all states participating, including the Commonwealth Railway, in cricket competitions.
