AFL Mackay are pleased to announce the following squad of 23 players to represent the region in the upcoming North Queensland Championships from Friday 27th to Sunday 29th March in Airlie Beach at Whitsunday AFC.
The Under 16 squad was selected over the Summer Development Program along with input from the Gold Coast SUNS Academy and AFL Queensland staff.
Coach Craig Widdowson was pleased with the final squad and states the Mackay boys are a region to watch at the North Queensland Championships.
"It has been a tough couple of days and late nights selecting the final 23, one of the toughest selection jobs I have had," experienced coach Widdowson told Mackay.AFLQ.com.au.
"Anyone player fro across the region who trained over the summer could have made the side, however we can only take 23 to the Championships and we all know we need a well-balanced line up.
"We get to play the Championships in Airlie Beach which is a home ground us and I believe we will have a strong showing in March," Widdowson added.
Below is the final list of 23 + 2 emergencies, making up the AFL Mackay squad of 25. All players named below are expected to train on Monday 23rd February at Harrup Park from 5:00pm to 6:00pm and then be in attendance for the information session from 6:00pm to 6:30pm at the AFLQ Mackay Office.
