FOUR of the WRFL’s junior stars will pull on the Big V jumper on Sunday when they represent Vic Metro at the NAB AFL Under-16 National Championships.
Xavier O’Halloran from St Bernard’s, Owen King from Altona Juniors, Buku Khamis from St Albans and Werribee Districts youngster Hamish Murphy have all been named to play in the carnival.
The four WRFL players, along with Keilor’s Stefan Radovabovic, Darley’s Zak Butters and Josh Klaramenos from Essendon Doutta Stars are also a part of the Western Jets’ Brad Johnson squad.
The group, pictured, are set to play against the Vic Country squad tomorrow before playing South Australia on July 4 at Metricon Stadium.
Their final game of the national championships will be against Western Australia on July 8 at Southport in Queensland.
The Western Jest are well represented in the squad, the club has the equal highest number of players in the team across the TAC Cup’s metropolitan sides.
The quartet from the WRFL are familiar with each other’s game, with the talented group all representing the league in last year’s Junior Metro Championships.
Meanwhile, a trio of Western Jets players who have all played in the WRFL have also been involved in the recent Under-18 national championships.
Werribee Districts duo Judah Dundon and Oscar Junker and Spotswood star Lachlan Fogarty are all in the Vic Metro squad.
Vic Metro won its first two matches, defeating Vic Country and South Australia. Their remaining games will be against the Allies and Western Australia.
