The Value Autogroup Wangaratta and District Junior Football League interleague sides have been finalised ahead of the AFL North East Border Junior Carnival, which will be held this Sunday, May 22 in Wangaratta.
While ground closure forced the first session to be postponed, the squads came together on Monday night with both under 14 and under 16 players pressing their claims for selection.
Following Monday night’s session the coaches of all four sides held selection and have picked their sides for Sunday’s carnival.
