Elite under 16 boys from Victorian Country regions congregated in Bendigo over the weekend to impress selectors and potentially earn themselves a spot in the State Team.
The Bendigo Pioneers, Dandenong Stingrays, Geelong Falcons, Gippsland Power, Murray Bushrangers and North Ballarat Rebels each presented a team to compete in the Under 16 Country Carnival.
The round-robin competition took place on Friday 13th & Sunday 15th April at Queen Elizabeth Oval.
Country Victoria selectors will now pick a squad of 45 players that will undertake various preparation and selection sessions, including fitness testing, skill training workshops and trial matches.
Overtime the squad will gradually decrease until the final team of 25 are selected to represent Country Victoria at the National Under 16 Championships in Western Sydney.
