By Donald Sutherland December 12, 2012



The Football Federation of Victoria (FFV) today announced the full fixture for the upcoming 2013 Victorian Premier League (VPL) season.

The opening round kicks-off on Friday 5 April 2013 with Bentleigh Greens hosting Richmond at Kingston Heath, before the round continues on Saturday and Sunday.

Port Melbourne marks its return to the top tier of Victorian football, playing Hume City at SS Anderson Reserve on Friday while fellow promoted side Pascoe Vale travel to Somers Street on Sunday to take on the might of Melbourne Knights.

Current Champion and winner of the 2012 Treble Dandenong Thunder will start its title defence with the short trip to Kingston Heath Soccer Club to face Southern Stars.

Dandenong plays its first game at home, behind closed doors, in round two when it welcomes back former leading goal scorer Luke Sherbon after his off-season switch to Bentleigh Greens.
