The Rovers get their first practice hit-out on Saturday, against Doveton Eagles at Power Reserve in Doveton. The Women are in action against Collegian at Albert Park.
There are three matches with the Under 19s taking on Williamstown CYMS at 10am, followed by the Reserves at 12 midday and Seniors at 2pm against the Southern Football League division 2 side.
The Seniors have more players unavailable than available for Saturday, meaning there are still a few spots to be filled in the U19s and Reserves – players can contact either of the three coaches to confirm availability.
Power Reserve is located at 203 Power Road in Doveton – view details and map here. Players requiring shorts and socks can purchase them online at the Rovers Shop and collect them at the game.

Next Saturday (March 24), the Rovers face Mordialloc at Ben Kavanagh Reserve, Mordialloc, in the second and final practice match ahead of the 2018 season.
