Sue,

You may want to try the Rugby League Hall of Fame at http://rl1908.com/ I
did a search on Ackland but it seemed to default to Auckland. Still, it may
give some clues where else to look. There is also a book which you might be
able to get from your local library which could help -
The Encyclopaedia of Rugby League Players by Alan Whitticker & Glen Hudson,
NSW Gary Allen 1993

> Hi l was hoping someone would be able to point me in the right direction.
>
> I have a Wilfred Roy Ackland known as Roy Ackland who moved from Ballarat
around 1913 to become a professional rugby player in N.S.W. He was living on
a boat in Sydney Harbour.
>
> Is there some way of finding who he played for in Sydney. He joined the
army so he would have only been playing a couple of years.
>
> Any help appreciated
