Djarragun College student Zengray Nona is set for one of the most exciting football experiences of his young life after earning selection in the under-16 Flying Boomerangs squad. The indigenous Australian rules representative side is made up of 25 players from around Australia and will head to Fiji in December to take on teams from the Oceania region.
Nona, who hails from Badu Island, was selected in the Flying Boomerangs after impressing at the AFL Kickstart Championships on the Gold Coast in September.
AFL State Indigenous programs manager Rick Hanlon said Nona deserved every success that came his way.
