WARRNAMBOOL will host a VFL match between Coburg Tigers and Geelong Cats next year.
The feline rivals are scheduled to meet at Reid Oval on July 1 in a bid to promote the VFL brand in country areas.

Coburg football manager Craig Byron told The Standard yesterday the club was excited to play its home game in the south-west. He said the club made the decision after some encouragement from its AFL affiliate Richmond.

“We were searching for areas where we could extend the VFL brand and give Coburg a bit of exposure,” Byron said.

“Richmond had a fair bit to do with it. They have a fair few members down that way.”
