THE poignancy of the Last Post will reverberate around Inglewood Recreation Reserve on Saturday before fierce football combatants honour the Anzac spirit in Loddon Valley league’s match of the round.
Inglewood will wear a specially-designed jumper for the clash against fierce rivals Bridgewater, the game’s most courageous player to be awarded the Eddie Harrison medal named in honour of World War Two serviceman and premiership legend at both clubs.
A Grade netballers will for the first time wear a special Anzac tribute uniform. And in a first for the encounter, the most courageous player will be presented with the Joan Gibson medal.
Netballers across the grades will use balls adorned with the pattern of red poppies, the symbol of remembrance.
Inglewood has had two close defeats in the opening round of Loddon Valley football against top sides Marong and Bears Lagoon Serpentine while Bridgewater is on top of the ladder.
Blues officials say the scene is set for a classic Anzac weekend encounter between the clubs.
