Afl Comes To MorwellThe stage is set for Latrobe City to host an exciting AFL NAB Challenge game, between St. Kilda and Essendon, this Saturday at the Morwell Recreation Reserve. By Latrob City - 5th March 2015 - Back to News Latrobe City mayor, Cr Dale Harriman, said the twilight game will be a great opportunity for all locals, young and old, to watch the two Melbourne teams in action.
"Latrobe City should get behind this match and support the AFL players as they head into the full season. This is a rare opportunity for residents to see elite footballers in our own municipality,"
"We are expecting a great family atmosphere with local musician Matt Fry entertaining the crowd in the lead up to the game. The game will commence at 4.40 pm, with gates opening at 3.00 pm"
"Local Saints and Bombers fans should book their tickets as soon as they can, as AFL members and St Kilda or Essendon club members receive the added bonus of free entry to the match," Cr Harriman concluded.
Residents are advised that there will be no public parking in the Morwell Recreation Reserve on Saturday; however the following locations have been made available for public parking:
- At the former Morwell Caravan Park off Maryvale Crescent (rear of Morwell Recreation Reserve)
- Other car parking is available within the Morwell CBD
