DARREN MONCRIEFF
Wednesday 3 February 2012
NYOONGAR man Nicky Winmar left an indelible mark on football -- both for what did on the field and his lasting legacy off it -- so it is a small, but honourable gesture that a junior carnival be named after him.
The Nicky Winmar Football Carnival will be held in Mandurah next fortnight for players 15 and under.
Teams will be based on the nine WAFL clubs' metro and regional zones.
It will be played at Bendigo Bank Stadium in Mandurah, home ground of WAFL club Peel Thunder, on Saturday, February 18.
The carnival will also serve as a selection proccess for the WA team ahead of the AFL's second under-15s national KickStart championships in April.
WA is the defending champions of the championships, having won the inaugural event on the Gold Coast in September last year.
A female exhibition match will also be held on the day.
