NSW/ACT under 18s kicked off their 2010 National Under 18s Div 2 tournament with a strong 41 point win over the Northern Territory. Starring for the NSW/ACT unit was the well rated Anthony Miles, with 43 possessions and 3 goals.
He was supported by tall forward Josh Bruce kicked 5 goals.
The NSW/ACT line up includes players from many regions of NSW. There is a good sprinkling from the Riverina region around Wagga, Leeton and Griffith.
And there are the traditional Victorian border towns, such as Albury, Corowa (Rutherglen), Moama (Echuca) and Wentworth (Mildura). Anthony Miles hails from North Albury. So, too, did Brett Kirk.
From the central coast and Newcastle region there’s James Webster from Terrigal Avoca and Adam Flagg from the Northern Jets. Down the south coast, there’s representatives from Tathra, Merimbula and Wollongong.
From Canberra, there’s Belconnen’s Nick Collins and Eastlake’s Josh Bruce, mentioned above (194 cm, 88 kgs, turns 18 in a couple of weeks).
From around the Sydney Metro region, there’s four lads from Riverview college, three from North Shore, and others from Western Suburbs, Sydney Uni and the East Coast Eagles. And the sole representative from Easts has a famous surname: one Will Langford.
With Greater Western Sydney around the corner, suddenly the lads in this Under 18 squad, as with all the Under 18s taking part this week, have more to play for than ever before.
The next round of matches sees divisional cross-over matches on June 6, when NSW/ACT takes on Vic Country and QLD takes on WA at Blacktown, after which, NSW/ACT will head to the Gabba (Vs QLD), Visy Park (Vs WA) and Etihad (Vs Tas).
