“Numbers are really good, we’ve gone from 15-16 players to having around 21,” Glanville said.
“They deserve to be out there... and to enjoy their football as well. It’s all about everyone getting a go everywhere.”
It’s the second round of a five-round campaign for the Rockets, who will compete in front of friends and family.
Founded 13 years ago, Echuca Moama Rockets has evolved into a successful program for all-abilities footballers to play, drawing participants in from all around the region.
