WRFL Under-19 coach Matt Dean is excited with the talent he will unleash at Ballarat in the upcoming Interleague clash.
Dean and his coaching panel have announced a 35-man squad for the WorkSafe AFL Victoria Community Championships after having over 50 players at the initial training sessions over the past fortnight.
Those players who didn’t make the final 35 are welcome to contact the WRFL Office to seek feedback from the Under-19 coaching team.
Eleven clubs from across the league are represented in the squad, with Spotswood leading the way with seven players named.
Dean said the amount of interest from players to be involved on the day had been overwhelming.
“We have had a fair bit of talent to choose from and all the players have been really keen to get involved, which is what we want,” he said.
“I was nervous before the first training session, but all the players and the coaches have embraced this challenge.
“Before training we spoke about the importance of this game and they have all bought in, which is exciting.
“We, as a team, are really wanting to put our best foot forward.”
The WRFL will take on Ballarat at Whitten Oval on May 21. The Under-19 match will be played at 11.45am and the Senior match is at 2.30pm.
More news surrounding the Under-19 and Senior team will be announced in coming weeks.
