"The kids were so excited to finally be able to have a kick again," Dalton said.
"As a club we surveyed our membership which was 95 per cent in support of arranging some of practice matches.
"Just to get the kids back and enjoying their footy again.
"We want all our kids to come back and play again next year and not be lost to the sport.
"The plan is to have a couple of more practice matches between the two clubs over the next month, so the kids stay connected to the club."
