TRIAL GAME versus ROSTREVOR OC RESULTS
The A's showed a lot of promise, particularly in the first half when we held a slender lead at half time. After half time we seemed to lose some sharpness and ROC's finished the game well, it was their 3rd trial,  to win by about 7 goals. The pleasing thing was our first half performance and the tenacity shown by the team. The B's had a good win, despite inaccurate kicking for goal, against last years division 2 preliminary finalists.

TRIAL GAME versus WOODVILLE SOUTH RESULTS
The trial game against Woodville South showed a lot of positives despite both sides losing. The A's were in touch until 10 minutes to go. Both sides were limited due to a large number of players being unavailable. The trial against Rostrevor OC on the 29th March at Torrens Valley should be a much better hit out.
