After a confidence-boosting performance last week, the Rovers will be looking for a win when they face bottom-placed Caulfield Grammarians at Glenhuntly Oval on Saturday.
Hampton has lost its past two matches, both to top four sides, falling to seventh on the ladder, however after pushing ladder-leaders St Kevin’s last week, confidence has returned and the side will look to finish the season on a high with five games remaining.
The two teams last met in round six at Boss James Reserve and on that occasion it was the Rovers getting up by 24 points. Guy Martyn and the coaching staff have made six changes to the side with the final 22 to be confirmed on Friday. The Brighton boys fresh from their APS premiership success return to the fold with Jandre Olivier and Zach Donald both expected to make their senior debut for the club.
Glenhuntly Reserve is located behind Caulfield Racecourse on Neerim Road. The Seniors kick-off at 2:00pm with the Reserves who’ll be looking to get a win and get off the bottom of the ladder, at 11:40am. Get along and show your support as the Rovers go for two wins on the road.
LIVE SCORES of the main game (and all senior VAFA games) are available on the Hampton Rovers website and mobile site (click here) as well as updates all day on Twitter (@HRAFC) & Instagram (hamptonrovers). Don’t forget to follow us on Facebook also.
At Boss James Reserve on Saturday, it’s a double-header with the Thirds and Under 19s in action. First up at 11:40am, the Thirds (with plenty of numbers) face St Mary’s Salesian. The guys are looking for some help on the day (goal umpire, boundary umpire, time keeper), if you can help please speak with Mick or get along early.
The Under 19s face Old Xaverians face seventh-placed Old Xaverians and will be looking for another win against them to ensure they remain in the top four with just three games after this week before finals.
The Bar will be open at the Boss from 4:30pm and we welcome everyone back to the club.
