Apart from Singapore and Asian Championships we normally have two other overseas games per year.

Intra Club Match 3 27th June, 2009 :- Warriors 16.8.104 d. Blues 15.5.95
Warriors reversed the previous two encounters with a narrow win. Match report uploaded
Can level up 2-all if they win on 8th August.
This year marks a change where prior to the season two distinct teams were chosen, warriors and Blues. These two teams will play off against each other in the intra club competition.
Hopefully, this is the fore runner of what will become a vibrant domestic competition.
The domestic competition allows players who have difficulty travelling or are learning the game to have a decent hit-out in a competitive environment. It also allows the coaches to assess players and try out strategies. And of course it helps fitness, as well as providing a break from weekly training.
On 7th August, 1858 Melbourne Grammar played Scotch College in Richmond Park in what is generally regarded as the first official Australian football match ever played.
On 8th August, 2009, 151 years later, almost to the day, history was created when the Malaysian Warriors Under 18 team took on the Australian International School Malaysia and scored a meritorious victory.
From such little acorns, mighty oaks grow.
