Checkside Chats – SA Country Match Preview

By ZAC MILBANK

The Country Croweaters are on a mission.

South Australia’s Country team is desperate to avenge last year’s defeat at the hands of Western Australia when it reignites its Nullarbor rivalry at Adelaide Oval from 12.50pm on Sunday.

Boasting a 7-3 win-loss advantage since the concept began in 2011, SA will have coach Steve Symonds and vice-captain Sam Tharaldsen at the forefront of their charge to challenge the Sandgropers.

Tune in to the latest edition of Checkside Chats to hear the pair preview the big clash, which is a curtain-raiser to the Adelaide v Hawthorn AFL match.

Why is the concept so important for country footballers?

And who are the former SANFL stars vying for the Barry Stringer Medal as best afield while donning the cherished red guernsey?
