this exciting game, some older gentleman with young-at-heart spirits took to
the field for the Masters and Vets game, with Scott Cummings, Brendon Fester
and Adam Hunter providing some support and entertainment.
With Hedland once again taking on Karratha, there were plenty of sore hamstrings, memories of the good ol? days and slightly exaggerated stories being shared for the rest of the evening. The Masters? players are now looking at becoming affiliated with AFL Masters WA, proof that you?re never too old to enjoy a game of football.
Saturday proved to the big day of competition, with two Pilbara Development Squads commencing the days? games by playing in front of talent scouts.? Selected from throughout the Pilbara, all players showcased their skills and talent, identifying that the Pilbara region as one of the high ranking recruitment zones.
Following the conclusion of the WAFL game, the North West Representative team took on the Perth Hills team, with local league talent on full display. With the Perth team being flown to Karratha specifically for this game, the match was full of anticipation.? The score belied the talent on the field, with the North Pilbara side finishing more than 10 goals in the lead.
Sunday saw community sessions at Wickham taking place, with members of the South African International team and the Swan Districts Football Club taking coaching sessions with local community members.
