The Capricornia Juniors have had 3 players selected from their under 16 representative side to participate in the Australia Post Under 16 State Championships from May 3 - 8 in Brisbane.
Ashley Walkingshaw (Brothers ) and Tim Higgins (Yeppoon) have both been selected in the Country Qld Kookabura side to contest the championships. Both players had big carnivals at the Country Championships in Rockhampton and thoroughly deserve their spots in the Kookaburras. The boys will play 3 games over 5 days with a first up hit out against the highly fancied Gold Coast Stingrays.
Joel Jeffrey (BITS) can consider himself very unlucky not to have earnt selection in the Kookaburra side but has been fortunate enough to be selected in the Under 16 Colts side. The Colts are made up of all the boys from the metro areas and the country championships who just missed selection in their respective representative sides. The Colts are a great new initiative by AFL Q that increases the talent pool and gives the best kids who just miss selection another crack at the state championships and the under 16 state side.The Colts play the Western Taipans first up.
Good luck to all our boys.
