The 2023 U17 SANFL Youth Intrastate Carnival begins this week, with three games on Tuesday and Thursday providing a valuable opportunity for mature-age teenagers to shine.
Previously known as the Country Youth Championships, the U17 SANFL Youth Intrastate Carnival will include games during the first week of the April School Holidays.
The matches provide the best players from each SANFL club’s recruiting zone with a chance to push their case for selection in next year’s club U18 Centre of Excellence program or the Torrens University SA U18 squad.
Two matches will be played in the July School Holidays, in conjunction with the annual U15 SANFL Intrastate Carnival.
Stay tuned to this article for results as the week’s matches unfold.
