Morten Ellerington, Jack Webber and Charles Meagher, embarked on a journey to Wagga Wagga for the MacKillop AFL trials held on 25 March. The team arrived in Wagga on Monday, diving straight into their first training sessions that afternoon,  honing their skills, practising drills and bonding together as a team.

The following day the boys engaged in a series of intense matches, playing five twenty-minute games against teams from Southern New South Wales. Charles showcased his prowess in the forward line, deftly maneuvering as a goal sneak and crumber. Jack utilised his speed and agility on the wing, fiercely competing for possession of the ball. Meanwhile, Morten's towering height made him a formidable presence in both the forward and back lines. Though the team faced narrow defeats in most encounters, they delivered a standout performance against Parramatta, keeping them scoreless, with Charles contributing a crucial goal.

Their time in Wagga proved immensely rewarding, as the boys relished the opportunity to forge new friendships and engage in competitive football matches. Congratulations for their commendable efforts!
