Echuca United started anew in 2024 and will hope the investment in youth begins to pay dividends in the new year.
A new era under coach Scott Beattie saw a largely inexperienced line-up take to the field and it showed on the scoreboard.
After a challenging season that yielded just one win, the Eagles have added a host of talent to their young core in an attempt to make a leap up the table.
Championship experience comes to Echuca South Recreation Reserve in the form of a pair of mainstays from Echuca’s title winning GVL lineup; Matt Lias and Callum Parsons.
After investing in its youth last year, United will hope to reap the benefits in the form of an improved win total this campaign.
A host of young guns earned their first senior cap over the course of the year and that top level experience should prove invaluable when paired with the experienced additions.
United begin their season at home against a similarly revamped Tongala side, the encounter to provide a blueprint on how far along both sides are in their rebuild.
