NSW State Football League
First Grade -- Season 1987
Season notes
Pennant Hills became The Hills Australian Football Club (usually abbreviated to 'Hills') from 1987 to 1992 (source: Record 4-4-1987, page 9).
Campbelltown completed the season as undefeated premiers.
Balmain left to join the Sydney Football League (effectively, the second division) after this season and was replaced by Sydney University.
There are minor discrepancies between the final ladder below which is reconciled from the results, and the official final table published by the NSWAFL.
None of the discrepancies exceed more than 7 points for any team in the final ladder for total points for and against.
The scores below are the most likely based on the small number of sources available, factoring in that those sources sometimes contain contradictory scores.
During this season, the NSWAFL did not produce a Football Record between rounds 5 and 10, and after this it was produced it in an 'abridged version' (source: Record 20-6-1987, page 3).
