Teams: U16 & U18 Round 3

Norwood’s U18 and U16s hit the road in Round 3, heading to Port Pirie to take on North Adelaide.

It is the second consecutive season that North and Norwood have met in the Roosters regional zone of Port Pirie, with last year’s match taking place in Round 1.

It was an absolute thriller of an U18 match in Round 1 last season, and this Saturday should be no different.

The Redlegs head to Pirie hoping to make it three consecutive wins to start the 2025 season, while the Roosters are coming off a Round 2 win over South Adelaide.

Norwood U18 coach Alex Newell said his side was looking forward to the road trip.

“We enjoy the bus trip up there, it’s a good opportunity for the boys to bond both on the way up there and back,” he said.

“We get an opportunity to see some new personnel this week with a handful of forced changes, the silver lining is we have a competitive squad and the players coming in are ready to go.

“Certainly the ideal outcome would be to go 3-0, but we just want to keep finding consistency in our game and continue to grow”

The U18 game commences at 12:50pm, and U16s from 10:30am.
