Pictured - The 2013 Mid West Mortlock Shield side, who finished 4th in the Carnival
The Mid West side to challenge the 2014 year Mortlock Shield has been selected and appears below,
Coach Mick Kessel put the charges through their paces, fine tuning for the final time before the Carnival. Along with selector Ryan DuBois, the team was difficult to settle with some good players missing out.
Mid Wests first game on Saturday, 12.45pm, is a rematch of our recent May engagement with Eastern Eyre, who will be strengthened by the return of some key players. The second match at 2.45pm is against Lincoln Districts, who many southern pundits have installed as carnival favourites.
The side is a good balance of height, leg speed and skills, as eveidenced by the quick clean training. The team is available below.
Mid West legend Ryan DuBois will be receiving Life Membership of the Mortlock Shield Carnival at the Carnival dinner. Still tickets available for those wishing to come along, please contact league president Peter Cock.
Good luck to all involved as Mid West takes on the best of Eyre Peninsula and Kangaroo Island.
