THE GV Stars went head-to-head with the Echuca Moama Rockets in a blockbuster exhibition match during halftime of the GVL Grand Final last Sunday.
It was an amazing opportunity for all the players to get out onto the field, and it will hopefully become an annual event for the league.
“Both teams had a great time, a big thank you to Echuca Moama Rockets for joining us and the GVL for giving us this opportunity,” said club president, Darren Cook.
The GV Stars are one of five teams that constitute the FIDA Northern Conference, the rest of the cohort includes the Echuca Rockets, Wangaratta Magpies, Wodonga Jets and a new team, the North Albury Hoppers.
The GV Stars Football Program was started in July 2014 with the aim of providing people with an intellectual or physical disability the chance to play AFL. Places are open to players of all genders aged from 14 years up.
