One change has been made to the AAMI SA U18 Girls Team ahead of its clash with the Allies this Sunday in Game 2 of the 2026 Marsh National Championships.
Norwood’s Charlee Brooksby will come into the South Australian side for winger Sharmaine Crosby.
The Croweaters are coming off a huge 52-point win against Western Australia in Game 1 of the National Championships last Saturday.
Several players impressed against the Sandgropers last weekend, including captain Emma Charlton who notched up 32 disposals, four tackles and four clearances, with goal sneak Madeline Nuss (four goals), Lani Cocks (25 disposals, five tackles, three clearances), and Emily Mableson (23 disposals) all looking to back up big performances this weekend against the Allies.
South Australia will host the Allies at Alberton Oval on Sunday, 21 June, from 11am.
