The first siren will sound on the same weekend for Division Two with four games, when Seaford v Langwarrin, Crib Point v Chelsea, Somerville v Hastings on Saturday, before Devon Meadows play Pearcedale on Sunday April 3 to round out the return to football and netball in the region.

Two matches in Division Two (Crib Point v Tyabb and Hastings v Pearcedale) headline the occasion, meanwhile Division One (Frankston Bombers v Bonbeach and Pines v Red Hill) will also have ceremonies to acknowledge shared histories, cultures and achievements and explore how each of us can contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia. 
 
Some of the clubs participating will also be wearing Indigenous jumpers to further raise awareness in the lead up to National Reconciliation Week.
