Strathfieldsaye wins first-up practice match against Nauru All-Stars

A largely young Storm side led their islander rivals throughout the four 17-minute quarters contest, prevailing 11.10 (76) to 6.2 (38) at Strathfieldsaye Recreation Reserve' second oval.

But the scoreboard was irrelevant to Storm coach Darryl Wilson, who was just glad to have his side be part of a remarkable innovation for Australian rules football.

"It was a bit of fun. Bendigo Bank approached us and asked if we wanted to play the boys," he said.
