Lovers of winter sports will be well catered for this weekend as Cora Lynn hosts the second edition of its ‘Super Saturday’ carnival at the Cobradome.
The Cobras kicked things off last year with Carrum Patterson Lakes, Hampton Park, Pines, Eltham and Pearcedale all attempting to kick goals, while Bunyip, Neerim South and Pearcedale competed with the Cobras in round-robin fixtures on the netball court.
This time around, some familiar faces return while some new faces will make their ‘Super Saturday’ debuts.
Langwarrin under-19s will kick things off with an intra-club practice match at 10.30am, before the senior boys run out with Pines taking on Officer at 12.30pm.
The football side of things will then finish off in style, with the home-town Cobras taking on Langwarrin at 3pm.
Cora Lynn, Lang Lang and Pines will hit the netball courts for round-robin games beginning at 9am.
Super Saturday begins a busy month at the Cobradome, with Cora Lynn hosting Springvale Districts on Saturday 15 March.
On Sunday 16, Langwarrin will play Chelsea, before the Cobras take on Pines on Saturday 22 March.
Practice matches at the Cobradome will then be complete when Langwarrin takes on Frankston Bombers on Sunday 23 March.
Cora Lynn president Rohan Marriott was thrilled with response to the inaugural event last year.
“We had a good crowd turn out; there were cars all the way around the ground and the netball courts as well; it was just a really good atmosphere and a great way to kick things off for the season.”
Full bar and canteen facilities will be open on the day.
