Brunswick Zebras

Our season is officially up and running, with our MiniRoos, Juniors, State League Women and Metro Men all kicking off on Sunday under glorious autumn sunshine across pitches all over Melbourne.

They join our State League Men as part of the 41 teams representing the club this season.

A huge thank you to all the coaches, managers and behind-the-scenes volunteers who made it happen. And a massive well done to every player who laced up their boots this weekend and wore the black and white with pride. Wishing you all a great season ♥🦓

Our cup run has come to an end following a thrilling 120-minute fourth round clash against Essendon Royals under lights at Sumner Park.

In an entertaining and hard-fought contest, the Zebras showed great intent from the outset, twice taking the lead in an impressive first-half display against our higher-ranked opposition. The visitors responded on each occasion, setting up a tightly contested battle that carried through the second half.

With neither side able to find a winner in regulation time, the match was pushed into an additional 30 minutes, where the intensity remained high. Despite a tireless effort from the lads, Essendon Royals scored twice in the opening period of extra time and were able to hold on through to the final whistle.

While the result brings our cup campaign to a close, it was a tremendous performance full of character, resilience and quality against strong opposition.

Thank you to everyone who came down to Sumner Park to support the team under lights – your backing means the world.
