The Alex Scott & Staff West Gippsland Football Netball Competition’s under-16 and under-18 representative football teams participated in the Evans Petroleum Cup for the first time at Yinnar last week.
Both sides were very competitive on the day, with Koo Wee Rup’s Josh Smith named West Gippsland’s Player of the Carnival in the U16s and Inverloch-Kongwak’s Ryan Sparkes in the U18s.
Thanks to our coaches Brendan Hickman (U16) and Warren Cawcutt (U18) for their time and effort and Alex Scott & Staff and The Drain Man for supporting our representative campaign.
