Women’s Match Preview: Essendon Royals vs Geelong Galaxy

The Essendon Royals are gearing up for their first home game of the 2023 VPLW season as they host Geelong Galaxy at Cross Keys Reserve on Sunday, April 2nd, at 5:00 PM.

The Royals will be looking to put on a show for the home crowd following their impressive 3-0 victory away against Casey Comets in Round 1.

With a strong defensive foundation that helped them achieve promotion in 2022, coach Vince Battiato’s side continued to showcase their solid defence in last week’s match. As they prepare for Round 2, the Royals will be keen to maintain their momentum.

Geelong Galaxy arrives at Cross Keys Reserve after a competitive performance against a formidable Brunswick Juventus side, losing narrowly by 2-1. This result indicates that Geelong Galaxy can pose a considerable challenge to the Royals on Sunday evening.

The Essendon Royals encourage all members and supporters to head down to Cross Keys Reserve and celebrate the team’s return to their home ground by cheering on the senior women in their quest for another victory in the VPLW.
