NEWBRIDGE forward Chris Dixon will line up for his 300th game with the Maroons on Saturday.
Dixon has rested an ankle injury for three weeks to be ready for the clash against Calivil.
It will be Newbridge’s first home game of the season as the club and community repaired damage from last October’s floods.
Dixon first pulled on the boots when living in Tarnagulla as a 10-year-old in 2001.
“I’ve always enjoyed the family environment and never had a reason to leave,” said Dixon who is also club treasurer.
“There’s a few I started with who are still playing too ... Tom, Wilson, Cam Grant.”
Dixon was a member of the Maroons’ reserve flag sides in 2013 and 2014 and took his place in the seniors when Newbridge won the Loddon Valley senior premiership in 2018.
He said the start to season 2023 had been tough for the Maroons, unable to play games at home.
“There’s not the same vibe so it will be good to be back in the community this Saturday playing at home,” Dixon said.
