Norwood’s League side will play the Crows at home from 2:10pm, while the Reserves side are travelling to Elizabeth to face Central District, starting at 11:30am.

Round 18 is a big day on the Football Club’s calendar this year, as Norwood celebrates Eyre Peninsula Round and hosts the annual Remembrance Round and Fortis Match.

EYRE PENINSULA ROUND

During our last home match, we will take the opportunity to celebrate the Eyre Peninsula, our Regional Zone. Look out for fresh oysters, seafood, and other EP-related products across Coopers Stadium for all to enjoy.

The Eyre Peninsula is renowned for its oysters and seafood, spectacular coastline, and fantastic marine and ocean experiences. Come along to our last home game on Saturday, August 26 and enjoy a taste of the EP and cheer on the team in style!

The Football Club will be hosting two events on the Friday and Saturday of Round 18.

On Friday we will have the Eyre Peninsula Food & Wine Experience, and on Saturday the Pre-Match ‘Long Table’ Lunch – Eyre Peninsula Celebration.

FORTIS ARMY MATCH

On the back of the successful Fortis Army march in 2021 and 2022, the Club has decided to make the last home game every year feature a supporter march and guard for the team as they run out. This match will now be known as the Fortis Army. The feedback from the players who ran through the Fortis Army guard was that it was an amazing and motivating feeling to experience. All in attendance for the first march in 2021, including the coaches, players and supporters felt it was one of the proudest and best Norwood days to be part of.

With such compelling feedback, the march onto the ground to form a guard will now become a regular event and we will be welcoming all supporters to participate. More details to follow but be sure to come to the last home game, Saturday, August 26 as everyone wearing Norwood Red and Blue will be welcome to march out onto the ground and form a guard for the players to run through.
