PORTLAND’S journey through the 2021 Hampden Football League season begins at 5pm tomorrow night with a round one clash against reigning premiers Koroit.

After the loss of the 2020 season due to the coronavirus pandemic, tomorrow’s contest is going to be an experienced defined by firsts for the Tigers – the first game in more than 500 days, the first game under Hanlon Park’s new lights, first-game players and the first game played under coach Jarrod Holt during his second stint as coach.
