Men’s Rising Star Nominee: Will Skinner

By Joe Pignataro · April 13, 2022
Men’s Rising Star Nominee: Will Skinner

The VAFA congratulates the second Men’s Rising Star nominee of 2022 – Will Skinner from Beaumaris. Through necessity in Round 2, Will was thrown forward and kicked 3 goals in the Sharks 68 point win over Old Carey in Premier B. 

What the club said: 

Will Skinner started playing for the Beaumaris Football Club in 2021. 

In 2019, while playing U17s, he was recruited to the Sandy Dragons, which he continued to do until 2021 when he decided that he would be better served playing Under 19s and senior football at Beaumaris.

Will played 5 games in the U19s Premier team before being recruited to play in Bluey McKenna’s seniors in 2021. Since then Will has been a regular in the Senior team.

Although Will has predominantly been used as a defender, he has been utilised in various positions across the ground, including wing, midfield and up forward.

On Saturday after suffering an upper thigh injury, Mckenna, threw Will into a forward pocket where he proceeded to kick 3 fantastic goals. Will is a terrific young man and has endeared himself to team mates and supporters alike.
