THE fun begins in April for Pakenham United, with the newest Football Federation Victoria (SSV) State League side getting its first look at the fixture.
Announced this week, the Cougars will get 10 home games to kickstart the inaugural FFV State League 5 South campaign.
The Cougars will enter the next phase of their soccer journey when they travel to Jack Edwards Reserve, Oakleigh to face Chisholm United FC on Saturday 2 April from 3pm.
Adjusting to Saturday soccer won’t be the side’s only challenge.
The fixture is subject to change, with IYU Recreation Reserve set take the Cougars home matches once it is completed.
But in the meantime Pakenham United will host matches at Cardinia Recreation Reserve – with its first State League Five South home game at Ballarto Road when it hosts White Star Dandenong SC.
Seniors matches will be held at 3pm while the reserves are on at 12.45pm.
