As part of Carlton Football Club’s Partnership with Odyssey House Victoria and the Reclink Football League’s fixture, a football match was played between the Odyssey Blues and Bendigo Victory last Wednesday.

Played at Visy Park under perfect conditions, the Odyssey Blues ended up winning the game by a small margin and will head into the finals with confidence. The game was played in good spirits and even attracted a few interested onlookers who were happy to see a game being played at the famous ground.

The Carlton Football Club has supported both Odyssey House Victoria and Reclink Australia throughout 2012.
