Good Friday blockbuster at JR Parsons Reserve

The old rivalry between Albion and Sunshine will be renewed on Good Friday.

With the two clubs both in the Western Region Football League division 2 competition this season, the two will face off to start the season on April 7.

The teams will play for the Hart Recycling Cup in what they’re calling the Good Friday Scrap.

The last time the teams played was in 2019 when both were in division 1.

There will be face painting and easter eggs for the kids, while there will be plenty of fundraising for the Good Friday appeal.

Cats player Josh Michetti is set to have his head shaved by the winning coach after the game as part of the fundraising efforts.

Albion president Danny Taylor said they were hoping to get a lot of people down to watch some good football on the day, as well as raise money for charity.

It’s the first time the club has hosted a Good Friday match.

The action at JR Parsons Reserve will start at 12pm with the reserves, followed by the seniors at 2.15pm.
