WA State 16 WAFL representatives

Congratulations to both Riley Garcia and Jake Pasini, who have been selected for the 2017 WA State Academy and will be participating in the under 16 National Western Australian Football League (WAFL) Championships in June and July.

Riley has already proven his midfield technique this season, playing for Colts in the WAFL against the state’s best teams. Jake is following suit with his outstanding marking ability and powerful kicking putting him in line to make his WAFL Colts debut in coming weeks.

Great achievements at such a young age – well done boys!
