The Sydney Swans will be well-represented this Sunday in Queensland as the U18 Allies boys and girls team play a double header against VIC Metro at Heritage Bank Stadium.
The U18 boys team, coached by QBE Sydney Swans Academy coach Mark McVeigh, will play their third match of the U18 Championships. They are looking for their third win of the championships after defeating SA in game one 12.12 (84) to 11.2 (68) and then putting on a dominant display in game two, defeating Western Australia 16.12.108 to 2.8.20.
Five Swans will play in the third match with Caiden Cleary, Indhi Kirk, Caleb May, Lachlan Cabor and Tye Gander all getting the nod for the match against Vic Metro. More on the QBE Academy Allies representatives here.
There's also plenty of red and white in the U18 girls Allies side who will begin their National Championships with a match against VIC Metro.
Marnie Robinson, Gabriella Eaton, Kendra Blattman, Emma Juneja, Holly Cooper, Asha Turner Funk and Olivia Morris have all been selected for game one. QBE Academy and AFLW Assistant Coach Coach Bron Gulden has been named as an Assistant Coach for the team.
