The Murray Bushrangers under-16 girls squad has been named, with several guns from across the region set to compete in two games across February and March.
Among the names are Cobram’s Madelynn Price and Nathalia’s Sienna Jorgensen, with the duo joining a further four players from the district in suiting up for the Bushrangers.
Shepparton United Youth Girls duo Meagan Garner and Jammisyn Lavis have also been named, with Lavis no stranger to the underage Bushrangers set-up after competing in two under-16 games last season.
Shepparton Swans’ Nyla Anderson and Mansfield’s Phoebe Guppy have also been tapped to pull the boots on after a good run of form.
The Bushrangers kicked off their campaign against GWV Rebels at the weekend on Saturday, February 28 at Seaford’s Belvedere Reserve, with the local products contributing to a solid win for the Bushies, running out 9.10 (64) to 6.10 (46) victors.
In other football news from the region, a pair of Shepparton United stars have earned selection in the AFL’s Indigenous and Multicultural Academies.
Dees duo Ashanti Walker and Tabatha Ingham were named in the Indigenous and Multicultural squads respectively, with both receiving expert football and personal tutelage at a high-performance camp in Melbourne recently before facing off in a showcase match.
“The Academies provide an advanced football experience for our emerging Indigenous and Multicultural footballers,” AFL diversity talent programs manager Narelle Long said.
“Players will have access to a specialised development model focused on their individual needs to further assist them to reach their Draft potential, as week as tailored support to assist their growth off the field.”
