It was nothing but blue skies and a warm afternoon forecast to play Anzac Day football.
At JR Parsons Reserve, the Albion Football Club celebrated their first Anzac Day match with a President’s Luncheon, where they honoured war veterans who fought for our country, and in particularly those who played for the club.
Down the road at Kinder Smith Reserve, Sunshine was hosts to Werribee Districts where they welcomed representatives from the Sunshine RSL to read the Anzac Day Ode, followed by the national anthem and Last Post.
While at Pennell Reserve, Braybrook knew all too well what Anzac Day was all about, hosting their fifth Anzac Day clash in conjunction with Albanvale Football Club, Sunshine RSL, Maribyrnong City Council, WRFL and 30 Army Cadet Unit.Similar to the other clubs, Braybrook also held a special Anzac Day service, where a wreath was laid beneath a half mast Australian flag and a minutes silence observed. In their fifth year hosting the event, the Braybrook Sporting Club along with Sunshine RSL President David Twidle unveiled a plaque dedicated to past and present members of our local community who served our country overseas in war and conflict with Army cadets standing proud with the trooping of the colours.
At the conclusion of each match, a special Anzac Day medallion was awarded to the best Senior and Reserve players from both clubs- an honour highly regarded and sought after by all footballers.
Regardless what the result displayed on the scoreboard, all three Anzac Day matches were deemed a huge success, with large crowds turning up in their hundreds to be part of all the action.
