South Rovers FNC

Round 11 action is here and we return to the Lions Den this weekend.

The weather forecast looks a little bleak, but we’ll have egg and bacon rolls and hot coffee available to help keep everyone warm throughout the day.

This Saturday we also welcome our Auskickers, who will take centre stage at half time of the senior football. Around 30 kids have been involved throughout the season on Wednesday evenings and this will be a great opportunity to showcase the skills, confidence and enjoyment they have developed. A big thank you to Ben Nicholas for the fantastic job he has done running the program and helping grow the next generation of Lions.

We welcome the Merrivale Football Netball Club Inc. to the Den for a battle of the big cats, with plenty of exciting contests across football and netball.

Matchups to Watch

🏐 15&U Netball
Both sides sit on one win. The Tigers got the points in Round 2 and our girls will be keen to turn that result around on home court.

🏐 B Grade Netball
Third versus fourth in what looms as a crucial clash. The Tigers currently occupy a top three position, while our girls have been building some strong form and are looking to make a statement.

🏐 A Grade Netball
A tough challenge awaits against one of the competition’s premier sides, but a great opportunity to test ourselves against the benchmark.

🏉 Under 13½ Football
A massive game with fourth taking on fifth. Both teams have genuine top three aspirations, making this one of the most important junior games of the round.

🏉 Reserves Football
These two teams have a habit of producing close contests and this week’s match should be no different. Both sides will be looking to respond after last week’s results.

🏉 Senior Football
Fourth versus fifth and another game with plenty on the line. Their Round 2 encounter was a terrific contest and we’re expecting another hard-fought battle this weekend.

After the games, stick around for presentations and a drink at the bar. Please note that due to a private function, clubrooms will close at 6.00pm.
