Saturday night the U/10 red team played Payneham at Adelaide Oval as a curtain raiser to the Crows v Kangaroos.
It was a wonderful experience for the boys who were highly excitable heading down to the change rooms with coach Rob Marchioro doing his best to calm them & go through his game plan. President Jack was on hand to give words of encouragement before & during the game! (Jack’s son Billy is in this team & starred). It’s fair to say the boys took a while to settle & were a little overawed by the surroundings but played a very competitive game - particularly the last half! The team stayed on to watch the crows defeat the ‘roos so everyone deemed it a great experience & were hugely grateful to have the opportunity to play on one of the best grounds in the world!
Some of our Umpires also got the opportunity to experience Umpiring on Adelaide Oval first hand last Saturday night.
