One off game would be great and a huge draw card for the home club.
This year Anzac Day falls on a Wednesday could play so Souh v Willaston on the day and give one of the teams a bye next round.
Surely a club could get up and ready for a game in 3 days with some forward thinking.
Angaston started to develop an Anzac Day game against Nuri a few years back, however the BL&G program wasn't generous enough to schedule this game each year.
This initiative should have been embraced better by Nobby and co.
Having said that, the panthers have an Anzac medal awarded to the best player of that game played closest to Anzac Day.
Jamo has ensured great envolvement from the local diggers for this day.
I celebrate in my own little way!
