Lancefield senior footballers held their first practise at home to North Sunshine last Sunday evening.
Tigers’ new non-playing coach Tim Bannan is pictured addressing his players at the quarter-time break.
The coach was generally pleased with the first-term performance with the Tigers monopolising the ball but wasting some opportunities to put a big lead on the board.
A recent preseason training session for the Tigers was conducted by Ryan Hinchcliffe, a Melbourne Storm legend and Macedon Ranges local.
Last season’s Riddell League U19s leading goalkicker Jack Radford has joined the Tigers and should provide a focal point up forward.
Earlier in the day, the Lancefield Under 19s went to Woodend and defeated the young Hawks by three goals in a very impressive display, particularly as there were more players to add to the lineup.
This is the Tigers’ 150th anniversary season, and the first big celebration function takes place this Saturday, April 1, in the Lancefield Mechanics Institute.
Enthusiastic new president, Paul Rix, hopes there will be a capacity attendance at this historic event.
The club’s special 150 years history book launch is scheduled for Saturday, May 27.
