AFL VICTORIA METRO JUNIOR DEVELOPMENT SERIES – LONG WEEKEND WRAP UP
This year’s Seda College Vic WRFL Junior Interleague has officially come to a close for the 2023 season.
Out of fifteen games played, our WRFL teams won over 50% of their matches, taking eight victories in total. Amongst those victories were our two Under 13 A & B teams who took the shields for both competitions.
This year will mark the WRFL’s first time winning both A & B titles in the same year, as well as the leagues first time winning the A shield since 2021. Additionally, it is our second consecutive shield win for the Under 13 B competition.
The WRFL would especially like to congratulate our Under 14 Division 2 and Under 15 Division 2 teams, who both went undefeated in their 2023 Interleague journey.
