Norwood’s Senior Men’s and Senior Women’s sides will head to Tasmania in early March for a pre-season trip and Trial Match. 

The Redlegs have had a strong link to Tasmania in recent years, through former Senior Men’s coach Jade Rawlings and a number of players relocating to The Parade from the Apple Isle.

Baynen Lowe, Jackson Callow, Tom Donnelly, Ben Simpson, Mitch O’Neill, Jake Cresswell, Alec Wright, Oliver Sanders and Candice Belbin all hail from Tasmania and have had a huge impact in the red and blue.

Now the club is returning the favour, and heading down to Tasmania during this pre-season.

Norwood players and coaches will head to Hobart on March 1, before scheduled Trial Matches against a Tasmanian representative side on Sunday, March 2 at Kingston Twin Ovals in Hobart.

The Norwood teams will have a Captains Run training session on Saturday, March 1 from 1:30pm at Kingston Twin Ovals.

The games are scheduled for the following times on Sunday, March 2.

  • Senior Women’s Trial > Norwood V Tasmania – 12:30pm @ Kingston Twin Ovals, Hobart
  • Senior Men’s Trial > Norwood V Tasmania – 2:50pm @ Kingston Twin Ovals, Hobart

  • Saturday, March 8 > Central District V Norwood – 2:10pm @ X Convenience Oval
  • Sunday, March 16 > Port Adelaide V Norwood – 2:20pm @ Alberton Oval
