We had a great hitout against Upwey-Tecoma in our first practice match today.

The women’s side won the last half after a slow start to the match and will take a lot into next week.

The reserves had a comfortable victory and were led by several under-19s, including Jai Melchiorre, Ethan Prentice and Josh Tasic.

The senior small brigade of forwards of Kieran Millar, Mitch Grubb and Matt McCluskey combined for seven goals as they won by 32 points.

We take on Templestowe next Saturday at Upwey (times TBC) in our final practice match.
