Rockhampton will be hosting the AFL Queensland U/14 Country Championships this long weekend. Sides from Darling Downs, Bundaberg Wide Bay, Mackay, Townsville, Cairns and Cape York will be participating in the carnival. Players will be vying for a spot on the U/14 Counrty Kookaburras side that will compete at the State Championships. The Paul Archers ‘The Good Guys’ U/14 Capricornia side will look to improve on last years 3 wins and 3 defeats in Townsville. The side has a good mixture of height and will look to run teams of their feet with a strong running game. Jeff Hopkins will coach the side and will be supported by Team Manager Brian Keller.
Players to look out for from the Capricornia side are Jamie Cunninghame, Aiden Hearn, Steven Mills and Hayden Kelleher. Jamie is from BITS Saints and is a good athlete with the ability to win the fooball. Jamie will fill in key positions for the side as well as playing in the midfield. Aiden Hearn (Gladstone) comes with experience and was named in the Queensland Country Kookaburras U/14 side last year. Aiden will play on the ball where he can use his speed and skills. Steven Mills (Panthers) will be a key forward for the U/14 Capricornia side. Steven has good kicking skills and strong hands. Hayden Kelleher (Brothers) is another player that will be important in the midfield. Hayden has great kicking skills which will go well with his ability to win the ball. The Championships start on Saturday 7th June with games played on the 8th and 9th of June as well. All games start at 9.00am. Good luck to the Paul Archers ‘The Good Guys’ Capricornia U/14 Team and good luck to all other teams participating.
