🔵⚪️ 150 YEARS & CHASING SIX IN A ROW! ⚪️🔵

It is a massive day down at the Inglewood Community Sports Centre this Saturday as the Inglewood Football Netball Club celebrates a historic 150th anniversary!

The Blues are on absolute fire, turning a 0-3 start to the season into a 5-game winning streak. Tomorrow, the Jackson Hood-coached squad is hunting for win number 6 straight against Bears Lagoon/Serpentine FNC

The Bears (2-6) are desperate to bounce back and close the gap on the top six, meaning they'll be throwing everything at them. With history on the line and a massive home crowd expected, this is going to be a blockbuster clash you do not want to miss

⏰ Note the EARLIER Start Time: Seniors kick off at 1:45 PM

The red and bluen design to be worn by Inglewood is a hark back to their original colours and the horizontal stripes worn in their earliest team photo in 1893. It was also the pattern worn by their last team to don red and blue in 1909. The club changed to blue and white in 1910 to avoid a clash with Korong Vale.
