At the conclusion of the launch, the season kicked off with a feature night match between Port South and East Sandringham Rovers U17.5 Boys Division 1. The match was the firstcommunity football game played under lights at RSEA Park for the SMJFL and it did not disappoint the crowd. Port South trailed all game to eventually win with a goal after the siren.
General Manager – Football Operations Bree Vallance said “It was a fantastic display of U17.5 boys’ football where the result came down to the final seconds. We couldn’t have asked for a better game. It was a great opportunity for the two teams who are made up of four our Clubs who have worked together to get the kids on the park.”
