The Westside Strikers Football club is inviting the community to come and check out the fun and action on its annual Gala Day on March 24.

The action kicks off at 9am at Brookside Recreation reserve in Caroline Springs with a day full of games between the Strikers and the Essendon Royals.

Westside Strikers committee member Jackie Turner encouraged all soccer enthusiasts to grab some delicious hot chips from the canteen and watch the fun.

“This will be our first gala of the 2024 seasons,” she said.

“As a community club that’s celebrating its 10 year anniversary, we have the opportunity to show other clubs how amazing our community support is and the players get to showcase their wonderful talents.”

Westside Strikers Football Club is a community focused and family oriented traditional football club based in Caroline Springs.

Since launching the club for juniors in 2014, the Strikers have seen massive growth in the last decade, introducing seniors teams in 2018, and even having membership increase from 428 to 553 players in the last year alone.

“As we are celebrating 10 years of this great club, we would like to thank the Caroline Springs and surrounding suburbs for supporting us,” Ms Turner said.
