EUROA Football Netball Club continued its preparation for the 2025 Goulburn Valley League season last weekend, hosting Old Paradians Football Club at Memorial Oval in Euroa for two games of football.

Coaching staff Dave Gleeson, Neale Poole, Chris Burke, James Henry, Declan Redfern, Matthew Mills, and Brad Howell have been training their players hard over the pre-season, with fitness levels very high heading into the last few weeks before the season begins on Saturday, 5 April.

The games against Old Paradians were played in extremely warm conditions, with players from both sides very appreciative of the added water carriers, breaks between quarters, and cold showers at the end of the game.

Many thanks to the large number of volunteers who are already getting into the swing of things—running the barbecue, providing first aid and training/strapping services for the players, managing teams and registrations, and selling memberships.

There are another three games of football this weekend in Euroa against North Heidelberg.

Match start times are: 10am (under-18s), noon (reserves) and 2pm (seniors).

Food and drink will be available for purchase, so come along and use this last practice match to 'practise' your barracking.

Club 2025 memberships will again be on sale, with sponsorship package documents also available.

To assist with forward planning, supporters should note that round one for 2025 is against Kyabram in Kyabram on Saturday, 5 April.

It will be a later start due to Kyabram hosting night games to increase crowd attendance.

Football times: under-18s at 2pm, reserves at 4pm, seniors at 6pm.

Netball times: under-15s at 11.45am, under-17s at 1pm, B reserve at 2.15pm, B grade at 3.30pm, A grade at 4.45pm.
