Last year’s QAFL grand finalists Labrador will have searching test first-up in the Club Aid pre-season competition when they clash with Southport and the Gold Coast Suns on the opening day.
With two 40-minute matches for each team, it provides for a bonanza of football at both Southport and Redland on 12 March.
Labrador and Aspley host the second round of fixtures involving the NEAFL clubs plus four under 18 sides on Saturday 19 March.
Matches will be played over two by 20 minutes halves, with a 10-minute break at halftime.
Clubs will be allowed to field a maximum of 28 players in each game.
The winner of the competition will be the team with the most wins and the highest aggregate score for the four matches, not percentage, encouraging attacking football.
The Gold Coast Suns will not participate in the second week of the competition, but the Brisbane Lions will.
