Senior Men’s Match Sim & U18 Girls Trial

It’s official, football is just around the corner.

Saturday marked the first official trial match of the season, with Norwood’s U18 Girls taking on Glenelg at Richmond’s Hisense Stadium, as Round 1 continues to draw nearer.

The Redlegs played with a squad of 20 players in warm weather on Saturday, but got the job done over the Tigers, winning 8.8-64 to 3.4-22.

Chelsea Marshall kicked two goals for Norwood, while Hope Elliott, Kailee Coburg-Ware, Matilda Rose, Liana Rechichi and Keira Neill each kicked one.

Norwood played well from the outset, and escaped injury free which is always a good result from the first hit-out of the season.
