Gerrard Woods plays his 200th senior VAFA game for the club this Saturday when the Hampton Rovers take on Old Essendon in a must-win game at Boss James Reserve.
Old Essendon have had a disappointing season after being relegated from A Section last year, winning just the one game. The two teams met in Round One with the Rovers getting up by 28 points. After a disappointing outing last week, the Rovers are fully focused on the task ahead and are fired up for a big performance this Saturday to return to the winners list and start moving their way back up the ladder. Despite sitting in eighth position, the Rovers are just two wins off top spot.
The ever-reliable Gerrard Woods has been a rock in defence for many years now and he returns to the fold this weekend following a couple of weeks in South Africa. Gerrard made his debut for the Rovers in 1996 and played 32 junior games for the green and gold. He has racked up 199 senior games including nine games in 2010, of which the last seven were in the seniors after an interrupted pre-season saw him start the year in the reserves.
200 game milestones dont come along often and its great to see Woodsy reach this magnificent milestone this weekend, in front of the Rovers faithful at Boss James Reserve.
