St. Joseph’s v West London Wildcats Challenge Match - 15^th March

We will be playing the West London Wildcats https://www.facebook.com/westlondonwildcats in our annual challenge match on 15^th March (St. Patrick’s weekend). The Wildcats were the 2013 AFL London Premier Champions and are the biggest and most successful Aussie Rules Football club outside Australia. Like previous matches, we will be playing the first half with a round ball and the second half with an oval ball! Both sides had great craic last year and gained a lot from the experience.
