Following the continued success in 2009, The WA Football Commission would like to formally recognise 3 individuals in WA judged to have made outstanding contributions to the NAB AFL Auskick program for 2010.

The deciding match in the 2010 AAFC Championship will be played out this weekend as the West Coast Eagles State Amateur U/23’s take on the travelling South Australian Amateur Football League on Sunday, the 13^th June.

After defeating Tasmania and Victoria in the past two years the West Coast Eagles State Amateur U/23’s team is one win away from claiming the trianniel AAFC Championship, standing in their way are the reigning champions, South Australia.

This time last year Shannon Cox was trying to stop the best forwards in the AFL from scoring. Now, after retiring as a defender for Collingwood, he’s returned to grassroots football and is preparing to help the Great Northern Football League stage a comeback into the top grade at this year’s Landmark Country Championships.

“You could say that playing AFL is every little boys dream. I grew up watching it on television and I think, like most young guys, you always want to play at the best level you can – so for me actually getting to the top was like a dream come true,” Shannon Cox said.

AFL recruiters will have their eyes on more than two hundred of the best country footballers from across Australia when they descend on Canberra in July for the 2010 Landmark Australian Country Football Championships.

The fixtures for the event have been finalised and according to Australian Country Football Council President, Glenn Scott, the seven teams from VIC, WA, NSW, ACT, QLD and SA will have to display their best football to be crowned national champions.

A stalwart of the WA Amateur Football League will play his 300^th game this weekend as Dale Rakich lines up for West Coast Cowan in their B Reserve clash against Swan Athletic at City Beach Oval.

Rakich started his football career in 1994 when he pulled the boots on for West Coast Cowan’s colts’ side, his ability was evident early on and he was quickly promoted to the league team where he has played the majority of his 299 games.

OCEAN Ridge Junior Footy Club and West Perth District Development Officer Megan O'Mara have made the brave move to provide an all girls option within their Auskick Program.

WAFC Coordinator of Female Football Clint Degebrodt said this was an exceptional opportunity for young girls.

"Hats off Scott and his team up at Ocean Ridge, the girls have asked for a female dedicated side in a 'girls only' setting,  which has now been provided."

THE Central Institute of Technology, in partnership with the WA Football Commission and the West Coast Eagles, is giving students the chance to combine academic study with their passion for AFL.

And one of those making the most of the opportunity is Sam Mainwaring, nephew of former Eagles great Chris.

Sam, 20, is studying for his Certificate IV in Sport (Development) and part of his course involves gaining coaching and work experience with the WAFC and the Eagles.

The following players have been retained in this years West Coast Eagles State Amateur U/23's program and are required at training at Gil Fraser Oval, North Fremantle, at 6:15pm this Wednesday the 2nd of June.

The Alcoa Peel Football League defeated the WA Amateur Football League U’23’s side by 7 points at Gil Fraser Reserve on Wednesday night 12.5.77 to 10.10.70.

This was largely thanks to man of the match & Captain of the Senior Alcoa PFL Cavaliers side Greg Sanders, who kicked 7 goals and showed that he will be one of the Alcoa PFL’s stars come the Landmark Carnival.

There were great individual contributions from McKenzie O’Brien, Tim Springett and Ryan McKinley - three great young talents. The Cavaliers, who kicked 7 goals to 1 in the third term, coming from 14 points down at half time, really showed the quality which the Peel region possesses.

The WAAFL came back strong in the final quarter, hitting the front with 12 minutes to go, the score changed hands three times to see the Alcoa PFL hit the front with 7 minutes to play. The inclement weather set in for the first time in the match, seeing the last 7 minutes see the ball play in scrimmage after scrimmage. The siren sounded with Peel winning by a little over a goal.

Coach Paul Pannell was extremely impressed with the talent in the line up and its going to be hard to pick the starting 22 to take on the Upper Great Southern in the first match of Landmark on Thursday July 8 at Bassendean Oval.

Well Done Cavaliers.
