First game of the campaign

Last night the Melbourne Victory played its first pre-season game of the season against VPL side, Richmond Eagles. The defending A-League champions won with a strike in the 83rd minute by Archie Thompson. Unfortunately I didn't get to see the game but apparently 2000 other people did, which is a great turnout for a pre-season game.

The next pre-season game is against the Oakleigh Cannons next Wednesday at 7pm at Jack Edwards Reserve. Entry is free! I am looking forward to the game after that, which is against South Melbourne at Bob Jane Stadium on the 20th June at 7pm. I will definitely be heading down to see that one. It’s the first time that these two teams will have met on the football pitch.
