Friday night action
THE bright lights of Reid Oval will be shining tonight (Friday) for the opening round of the 2024 Hampden Football Netball League season.
The Warrnambool Blues and Koroit Saints will battle it out under lights in the senior football and netball competitions, while the remaining grades will be played tomorrow (Saturday).
This will be the second time the newly developed facility will host a Friday night fixture – with the last being held in 2022.
Hampden League president Shane Threlfall said tonight’s games will be a terrific way to officially open the 2024 season.
“It will be the first game of the opening round and it’s a great chance for people to come and have a look at some of the big star recruits coming into our league, particularly Ben Cunnington,” Threlfall said.
“It’s a great initiative from both Warrnambool and Koroit to move that game from the traditional Saturday to the Friday night.”
In other Hampden League round one action, South Warrnambool will host North Warrnambool, Camperdown will host Terang Mortlake, Port Fairy will travel to take on Portland and Cobden will be home to Hamilton.
