The 1902 MJFA season, also known as the 1902 MFA season, was the 11th season of the Metropolitan Junior Football Association (MJFA). [lower-alpha 1]
Collegians won the MJFA premiership for the fifth time, defeating Brighton in the 1902 MJFA Grand Final. [5] This was the second time a grand final had been held in the MJFA. [6]
All eight teams that participated in the 1901 MJFA season continued in 1902. [7] One new club, the Hawthorn Football Club, was formed in March 1902 and admitted into the Association several weeks later, bringing the total number of teams to nine. [8] [9]
In round 7, the Celtic Football Club was scheduled to play a match against Beverley. However, Beverley won after Celtic forfeited. [10]
Celtic had a bye the following week in round 8, but was scheduled to play Brighton in round 9. [11] However, "owing to a misunderstanding", Celtic did not state where the game was supposed to be played. [11] The match was eventually called off, and Brighton claimed a walkover victory. [12] Celtic disbanded the following week, prior to a scheduled match against Caulfield at the East Melbourne Cricket Ground, having lost all of its eight games. [13] [14]
