The Bears had their first pre-season hit out for 2018 when they took on Sydney side Spirit FC on Sunday.
In hot conditions at Rockwell Automation Park the U20s played in the morning with the 1st grade squads later in the afternoon.
The under 20s performed strongly with a pleasing performance netting 2 goals and creating numerous other opportunities.
The Bears 1sts fielded a number of new recruits including the return of Nathan Morris, Josh McGuire and Kew Jaliens. Working hard to execute their game plan and against a quality opposition the action swayed from end to end. Both teams hit the woodwork but it was Weston who took their chances from the 70th minute on, finding the net 3 times.
It was an excellent opportunity for both clubs to blow out the cobwebs, look at what needs to be worked on and get their seasons underway on a great deck.
