The great "mouth of the south", Jason Akermanis, will be playing for Milawa this Easter Saturday against reigning Premier Tarrawingee in the Ovens & King League.

Aker will also host a Sportsmans night following the game and playing a round of golf with a lucky bidder on Sunday at Wangaratta.

Ex Hawk and Roo, Nathan Thompson will pull on the Kyneton jumper on Good Friday to play against traditional rival Gisborne at the Kyneton Showgrounds in the senior fixture.

The last time Thommo played for the Tigers was in the Under 18's back in the mid 90's. The local lad is sure to pull in the patriotic crowd at the Bendigo Football League Fixture.

Well done to both these guys and the clubs involved for the initiatives and promotion of country football in their region
