2026 AAMI SA U18 Girls Team – Game 3

By ZAC MILBANK

The AAMI SA U18 Girls Team has maintained a settled line-up for its crucial clash with Victoria Metro this Saturday in Game 3 of the 2026 Marsh AFL National Championships.

Croweaters coach Brad Snell and his selection panel have made just one change, calling upon key forward Kate Alexander in place of Isabella Beaumont, who remains on the emergency list.

Alexander is coming off a game-breaking performance for Norwood in the Hostplus SANFLW League, where she helped the Redlegs to a stirring win against reigning premier South with an impressive stats sheet of 22 disposals, four marks, five clearances, six tackles and two goals.

The Croweaters have banked two wins from their two starts, starting with an impressive 52-point win against Western Australia in Game 1 before edging out the Allies by just nine points at Alberton Oval in Game 2.

South Australia’s final match in the 2026 Marsh AFL U18 Girls National Championships will be against Queensland on Saturday July 11 at the Kennedy Community Centre in Melbourne.
