Bell Park Dragons’ under-10 and under-12 girls are getting super excited for their inaugural game this weekend.
The club is fielding the combined girlS’ football team for the first time during this year’s coronavirus-delayed season.
“They’re absolutely raring to go!” club junior committee member Samantha Hair said.
“They’ve been waiting since they started pre-season training in March before everything went on hold.”
AFL Barwon is set to commence junior games tomorrow despite an Inverleigh under-13 player and two of their household members testing positive recently.
The organisation cleared all other teams to play with Inverleigh’s under-13 side scheduled for a bye.
Ms Hair and fellow committee members have spent the week going through COVID-19 protocols to ensure “everyone knows the game plan for Saturday”.
“It’s get in, play and get out,” she said.
“[Many] things that the kids are used to won’t be happening, but they’re following rules because they just want to get on the ground and play.”
