STILL KICKING: Paul Newbury, Scott Edwards and Matthew Goode are players in the AFL Masters, with the competition looking to boost their profile with night fixtures at Chelmer.
The Souths Sharks Masters AFC are hosting night fixtures on Saturday at Sherwood Districts AFL club for families, former players and amateurs alike to see the competition in action.
There is a Supers division catering for players over the age of 33 and a Masters division for players aged 38 and older.
Sharks vice-captain and Masters committee member Matthew Goode said it was footy for fun and nobody was too old to play.
‘‘We get a lot of guys who turn up who have not played since they were teenagers and they come down and find they’ve still got some skill,’’ he said.
‘‘Then there’s the family side of things where the wives come along and the kids are there supporting their dads.
‘‘Masters is Australia-wide, but a lot of people don’t know that people in their 30s and above can play. We’ve got players as old as 50 in the Masters.
‘‘You don’t have to be supremely fit at all. It’s full tackle, but everybody loves it and there’s great camaraderie and a great sense of team spirit.’’
The first match is a Masters clash between Souths and Morningside at 5pm with the Supers match between Souths and Ormeau kicking off at 7pm. For more information, contact
