Latrobe Valley Express | Rivalry round will feature this week in the Gippsland League.
Round 3 action pits neighbouring nemesis from the Latrobe Valley, West Gippsland and South Gippsland, as well as a clash between two of the competitions undefeated teams.
Margins should tighten across the board for the simple reason players will be returning from the Easter break, during which time it is likely most of them took the opportunity to get away from the game.
Results therefore could be a reflection of who has exited holiday-mode the quickest, or more importantly, which teams have kept themselves conditioned over the break.
While it is only Round 3, pundits might gain an insight this week into which teams are serious about challenging in 2022.
Those who have spent Easter eating chocolate and drinking for five days straight might find themselves blowing at quarter time. Those who have balanced the festivities with proper football preparation will surely thank themselves when game time arrives.
