Photographer Bruce Povey was on hand on Saturday, March 16, to capture the action as Rochester took on VAFA powerhouse St Kevin’s Old Boys in a practice match at Moon Oval.

Head over it: Rochester faced plenty of pressure.
Make him earn it: The game wasn’t for points but was still competitive.
Strong tackle: There were no cheap possessions in the contest.
Don’t argue: Fend-offs made the pre-season highlight reel.
No time: Tackle pressure was high throughout the contest. Photos: Bruce Povey
Feel for it: Rochester players relished the opportunity to get on the field in preparation for a big 2024.
