FOOTBALL: Great Southern Football League players Zac Cameron, Blake Thomas, Jake Hogben, Will Hooper, Dylan Wenham, Jai Redigolo, Nat McMurtrie, Ryan Mahony, Angus Williamson, Kenn Campbell, James Baker, Pat Taggart, Max Thomas, Hunter Bennett, Jack Low and Josh Broadstock are making the most of the opportunity to try and break into the South Adelaide under 18 squad in 2010.

While most are enjoying the summer activities these lads with massive football potential are making sacrifices to follow the pathway that could lead to an South Australian National Football League (SANFL) or Australian Football League (AFL) career.

Junior coordinator at South Adelaide, Alex Burrowes, says the squad has worked hard over the pre-season under new coach, former Adelaide Crow and South Adelaide league footballer Jason Torney.

“The Great Southern League has always been a great breeding ground for young footballers and this group coming through is very talented,” Burrowes said.
