Tuesday and Thursday evenings.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the senior side, the club also hopes to have a team compete in the junior season which will also kick off in October.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOnce again this dream is subject to community interest,\u201d said Ungerer.<\/p>\n<p>Germiston will cater to u-8, u-10, u-12, u-13 and u-17s with practices held at the club\u2019s home grounds on Mondays and
