Week 2 Croydon Double Header at Ranger Field
Article updated
The club kicks off its 2012 campaign with a double header at home at Ranger Field in week 2.
In the early game the newly minted Croydon Stars, on the back of their first season last year will host the Melbourne Uni Royals. The Royals knocked off the defending division two champions last week and will be full of confidence. Should be a great test for the young Stars team at home in front of a big crowd.
In the afternoon the 2011 Vic Bowl Runners up Croydon Rangers host the Berwick Miners. The Rangers swept the Miners last year and will be looking to get their season off to a good start.
Canteen will be open, bar not available yet (sorry!) but you can be sure to stock up on the world famous Ranger Burgers!
Find a spot in the grandstand and enjoy the show.
