West End State team stars Joel Cross and Zane Kirkwood have gathered at Adelaide Oval in the build up to the big clash with the VFL on Sunday May 29.

Arguably the two best midfielders in the SANFL IGA League, the Magarey Medallists braved the wintery conditions to film a promo for Channel 7 at the base of the Riverbank Stand.

Speaking on SANFL Radio, the pair chat about their excitement to be named in the initial 40-man squad to play against the arch enemy at the home of SA football.

The dynamic duo trained at Football Park last night, with coach Graham Cornes putting his charges through their paces for the first time.

Cross is excited to have his coach at South, Brad Gotch, join the Cornes’ team of assistants this year, with the VFL premiership mentor certain to provide valuable insight on the opposition.

Kirkwood noted the presence of new fitness and conditioning coach Stephen Schwerdt would ensure a professional approach would be taken to preparation and recovery during the next four weeks.

The prolific on-ballers are set to go head-to-head in Round 8 when Sturt hosts South Adelaide at Peter Motley Oval on Saturday May 14.
