AFTER a long off-season, the Victorian Under 18s Boys competition is back under a new name with the NAB League Boys kicking off from 3pm Saturday afternoon at Mars Stadium. In the standalone game on Saturday, the Greater Western Victoria (GWV) Rebels will be looking to exact revenge on reigning premiers, Dandenong Stingrays with the Stingrays bundling them out of last year’s finals series. In an all-Metro double header to start Sunday, Sandringham Dragons host Calder Cannons, before Eastern Ranges tackle Oakleigh Chargers, both at RSEA Park in Moorabbin.

Up north, Murray Bushrangers and Gippsland Power meet in the middle at Craigieburn’s RAMS Arena from 1pm, with Northern Knights and Western Jets going head-to-head in the other Metro clash at Ikon Park. The final game is out in the state’s west with Geelong Falcons and Bendigo Pioneers beginning their NAB League seasons at Central Reserve in Colac.
