All is in readiness for Williamstown's Foxtel Cup Quarter Final clash with West Adelaide. The Seagulls will fly out of Melbourne Friday in preparation for the game to be played at AAMI Stadium on Saturday. It is the second time the Seagulls are travelling in the inaugural competition after defeating Swan Districts in Perth in round 1 of the Foxtel Cup.
The game will be played as a stand alone fixture at AAMI, starting at 4:45pm Adelaide time. Supporters wanting to catch the action on Fox Sports can tune in at 6pm AEST on Channel 501.
Williamstown Football Manager Chris Dixon said it was business as usual for the Seagulls as they prepare for the clash with the Bloods.
"We're really looking forward to testing ourselves against another quality side from another strong state league. West Adelaide have obviously shown a lot of improvement this year and have really taken the competition by storm over the first part of the season.
“There's no shortage of quality within their squad and we are obviously pretty familiar with a few of the ex-VFL players such as the Caruso brothers, Ben Macreadie and Jarrod Silvester. "
Dixon said the game was another fantastic opportunity to promote the Williamstown Football Club.
"It's a great chance for exposure. Exposure for our players, our club and our Major Sponsor Hocking Stuart. Right from when the competition was announced we were behind the concept and it's great to see the positive reaction the Foxtel Cup has received so far."
With a squad of 25 players travelling over to Adelaide, Dixon stated that the final make up of the 22 won't be known until Friday evening.
"With our final training run on the Friday we'll see who gets through the session ok and then make a final decision then."
A Semi-Final date against East Perth awaits the winner of this match after they defeated the NT Thunder by a goal last Saturday.
