April 26, 2008 - Season starts with a Combined Game
The GGAFL opened it's 7th season on Saturday April 26 in Concord. An enthusiastic ANZAC Cup match the week before had led officials to believe the season would open in fine style and even the weather cooperated. With bright sunshine and no wind to speak of, players started arriving for the games but, it would seem, not enough of them.
