THE Hamilton Kangaroos will host Portland in the traditional Anzac Day clash at Melville Oval on Monday with the blue and white set to face a tough test.

It will be the first time in three years the game has been played in Hamilton and both senior football coach, Hamish Waldron, and Open netball coach, Nat O’Dea, will be taking the reins of their teams for the first time as coach for the stand-alone fixture.
