South Australia has finalised its team to tackle Victoria Country tomorrow in its pursuit of the 2024 Marsh AFL U16 Boys National Championships.
Having defeated Western Australia and Victoria Metro in their opening two matches, the Croweaters can claim their first crown since 2022 should they remain undefeated after three games.
Coached by SANFL Coach and Player Developer Heath Younie, SA confronts Victoria Country at Southport’s Fankhauser Reserve, from 11.15am SA time.
Championship-winning SA U16 coach Julian Farkas return as one of Younie’s assistant mentors, together with Brett Hudson and Chris Slattery while former Central District midfielder Brendan Dew is the team’s runner.
The match will be screened live via the AFL Play Channel on YouTube.
