VAFA announce Under 23 Squad for Carnival

The VAFA have released an initial squad of 57 ahead of the AAFC Under 23 Carnival to be held in Hobart on the first weekend of July this year.

Victoria will attempt to retain the trophy they won against Western Australia, South Australia and Tasmania last time the Carnival was held in Adelaide in 2011.

The squad contains players from clubs playing in William Buck Premier through to Division 2 and has been released early by selectors to ensure availability for the matches.

The Carnival sees the States play shortened preliminary matches on Thursday, 2 July (against Tasmania) and Friday, 3 July (against both SA and WA), before a full length final to be played on the Saturday, 4 July.

The team will be coached by Andrew Hayes who has successfully coached the U23 team to two consecutive wins over South Australia in 2013 and Tasmania in 2014. Hayes will be assisted by David Kinsella (Assistant Coach), Brad Berry (Assistant Coach), Greg Meredith (Assistant Coach).

Under 23 Training Dates:

Wednesday 10 June at (Sportscover Arena)
Wednesday 17 June (Sportscover Arena)
Wednesday 24 June (Sportscover Arena)
Sunday 28 June (TBC)
Tuesday 30 June (TBC)
