READ NOWTeare said the club was open to inviting Geraldton to its home ground next year.
“This was just a once off but hopefully it will be an ongoing game and be held once a year,” he said.
“Geraldton has a team but they do not have a competition to play in.
“They normally play in a country carnival once a year where there are teams from Kalgoorlie and the South-West.”
Teare said building a relationship with a country team would be beneficial to the Perth-Bayswater.
“One of the benefits of creating a bit of a bond between the two clubs and if anyone move down to Perth, hopefully they will come play for us,” he said.
He said the pre-season would commence in November or December and would involve mostly fitness training.
