The AFL Victoria Community Cup pits a representative side of WorkSafe AFL Victoria Country against a combined outfit of Melbourne’s premier senior community leagues.
The ultimate bush v burbs showdown at Simonds Stadium on Saturday July 12 will be just the second time in history such a game has been played between the best players of both groups of community leagues.
The first match, in 1986, was won comfortably by Country but 28 years on and it’s the Metro boys that will arguably start favourites in the clash at Simonds, which is also the curtain raiser to the VFL clash between Geelong and Richmond.
On the same day, WorkSafe AFL Victoria Country will renew its rivalry with the Victorian Amateur Football Association in two games at St Albans Reserve, Geelong.
The GrainCorp Vic Country No.2 team will play the VAFA (Premier B – Division 4), while the EnergySafe Vic Country U19 team faces the VAFA U19s.
