AFL Riverina operations coordinator Tom Walker is tipping big numbers to file through the gate.

“It’s a very exciting day of football and netball action at Robertson Oval,” Walker said.

“For the first time we have all three netball grades playing.

“It will be a big day for the league.

“Last year was one of the biggest crowds we’ve seen in recent history, and with more netball this year we would expect it to be even bigger.” 

Turvey Park, Wagga Swans and Wagga Tigers will all have two representatives in the football, while the netball teams are spread among six different club.

The day will kick off with a 10-team Auskick gala, before the first football and netball finals begin at 10.30am.
