SA U18 Girls Team – Game 2

By ZAC MILBANK

The SA U18 Girls team resumes its AFL National Championship campaign when it confronts Victoria Metro in Melbourne on Sunday.

Banking a comfortable 35-point win against Western Australia in Perth in Game 1 on April 30, the Croweaters will field a strong line-up boasting plenty of star players from the Hostplus SANFLW League.

Captain Piper Window is coming off her richly-deserved SANFLW best-and-fairest crown while she was also joined by fellow Croweaters Lauren Young, Elaine Grigg, Esther Schirmer and Poppy Scholz in The Advertiser SANFLW Team of the Year.

Coached by Jason Rivett, SA will have another match against Queensland on Saturday July 15 at Adelaide Oval at 4.20pm, a curtain-raiser for the Adelaide v GWS AFL match.
