FOUR of the WRFL’s brightest young stars will put their rivalries aside when they team-up for the School Sport Victoria team next month.
Spotswood’s Ethan Bentley, Altona Juniors youngster Emerson Jeka, St Bernard’s player Jeremy O’Sullivan and Werribee Districts junior Lachlan Raznovski have been picked in the Under-15 boys Victorian team.
The talented quartet, who all represented the WRFL at this year’s AFL Victoria Junior Metro Championships, will travel to Maroochydore in Queensland for the Australian Football Championships.
Bentley, who attends Maribyrnong Secondary College, says he is looking forward to putting on the Big V guernsey.
He said the process to get into the Victorian team began back in April when trials for the team first opened.
“It was challenging because there was hard competition, but it was also fun to play against kids with the same ability,” Bentley said.
“It means a lot to me to play for Victoria.
“It’s a big step towards making higher levels.”
Bentley said it was great to see other WRFL players also get picked in the team.
“It will be good fun to play with kids that I know,” he said.
“It will make the trip more fun and a lot easier to play together during the carnival.”
The Victorian side will go head-to-head with some of the best players from across Australia between July 23 and 30.
Bentley said the team had some great chemistry and were all excited to play together.
