Six of the club’s eight masters outfits will square off with teams from the Richlands club, with Springfield’s division 2 over-35s headlining against Lions’ division 1 at 8pm on Field 1A.

Division 2 claimed the Springfield Cup over-35 crown last week with an intra-club victory over division 3, who host Lions’ division 4 side at 6.30pm on Field 1B.

Decimated by injuries and unavailability, division 5 will tackle Lions’ division 6 at 6.30pm on Field 2A.

Springfield’s division 6 face Holland Park at 8pm on Field 2A, while division 7 will meet Mt Gravatt at the same time on Field 2B.

In the over-45s, Springfield’s division 1 side hosts Lions at 6.30pm on Field 1A, before the division 2 outfits do battle on Field 1B at 8pm.

Field 2B will play host to the division 3 encounter at 6.30pm. The games will mark the end of a long and successful pre-season for the club’s masters team, who are set to kick off the season proper on March 17.
