The Outer East League 2023 season Round 10 saw the Rebels host Warburton Millgrove for two games of football and four games of netball.
The Reserves, missing some regular players but assisted by some of the Under 16 footballers, took on the undefeated top of the ladder Burras who kicked three unanswered goals in the first quarter before the Rebels got back into the game with two goals to one in the second quarter.
In a good contest, the Burras added two more goals in the third quarter before kicking three goals to two in the last quarter, the Rebels showing they can match it with the best, Alexandra 4.0 (24) to Warburton Millgrove 9.10 (64). Awards: Shepparton Volkswagen – Sam Kidd, Ampol fuel card – David Ray, Alex Sportspower – Callan Howell, Buxton Hotel – Jake Steyger.

The Rebels won the second half with five goals to three but were unable to close the gap, falling short by 12 points, Alexandra 9.8 (62) to Warburton Millgrove 11.8 (74).
