Essendon Royals Senior Men’s State League 1 Fixture Update

A number of changes have been made to the club’s upcoming fixture list.

Due to the club’s home draw in the Australia Cup, and our Round 4 tie against Moreland Zebras being scheduled to take place on Tuesday 29 March, our Round 3 clash and first home league game of the season with Yarraville Glory FC has been moved to Saturday 2 April.

Reserves will kick off at 5 pm and Seniors will kick off at 7 pm.

Our Round 4 clash with fellow Moonee Valley outfit FC Strathmore is now a home game, due to ongoing Council works at Strathnaver Reserve.

This match will now be played at Cross Keys Reserve on Friday 8 April.

Reserves will kick off at 6.30 pm, Seniors will kick off at 8.30 pm.

The club also takes this opportunity to confirm that Senior Men’s Coach Vitale Ferrante will remain on leave indefinitely.

Mick Ferrante will lead the first-team squad in Vitale’s absence as Interim Senior Men’s Coach, with Davey Van’t Schip maintaining his playing assistant role.

Matteo Ballan has taken on Captaincy of the Senior Men’s team.

Vitale will be welcomed back into the role when he deems himself ready.
