The football season is upon us again!!

Northern Rovers is excited to announce its Open Day at McFetridge Park on Saturday 29th April where we will be running games across first kicks, juniors, and senior football throughout the entire day!

There will be food on-site, coffee, and games for the kids including a bouncy castle, giveaways, and a DJ keeping us entertained.

Free sausage sizzle from 9am to 10:30am. Ideal for our new First Kicks & Juniors players, parents, and siblings to come and enjoy a free hot dog on us.

Bouncy castle opens at 9am (to midday) for your kids to burn off some of that weekend energy.

Club gear. Looking for Northern Rovers shorts, socks, hoodies, or supporters gear? Our Lotto pop-up shop will be running from 9am to 11am.

Bar fridge draw. Be in with a chance to win a bar fridge, with every drink you buy from our bar you go into the draw to win. Drawn at 6pm.

VIP Tent. All Club sponsors get access to our pitch-side VIP tent for free nibbles, drinks, and a front row seat to watch our Premier Men take on Metro FC at 3pm.

Music / social. Once the games are done and the nets put away, join us in the Clubrooms for music, drinks, and some decent banter to round off the day. We’ll just keep going until the last person leaves.
