The Under 16 New Zealand Hawks will play a 2 game series against the Peninsula Saints from South East Victoria in Wellington over the ANZAC Day weekend.
This is the first time a team from the South East Victorian region has travelled over to NZ and are looking forward to the 6 day trip. General Manager of the region Jeremy Bourke, who was involved in bringing over the initial VAFA (Victorian Amateur Football Association) team is looking to make the series an annual fixture between the two teams.
After their recent tour to Sydney, Head coach Shannon Wall is excited that the group will be able to build on the experience they received on the Sydney campaign held a month ago.
Congratulations to all those involved.
