Publishers Description: In 1926 at a tradesmen's camp in the middle of nowhere, some keen footballers met in 'Big Jim' Welsh's tent to form their own club. They called it Eastlake. A couple of years later, other men, who were in Canberra to help build the first homes and roads - a n d Parliament House - founded another team: Manuka. In Kick it long, Keith Miller traces the story of these two great clubs and the characters who made them. It's the story of their fierce rivalry during the years when Australian football was king in the national capital. It's the story of how footy and Canberra changed and how Eastlake and Manuka became a single footy club ... and a vibrant community organisation.
