Metro Junior Development Series – Round 1 Wrap


Published on Thursday, May 30, 2019

All the results from the opening round of the 2019 AFL Victoria Metro Junior Development Series.

It was a tough night for the NFNL’s junior stars, with all six teams losing their Round 1 matches – despite putting in their best efforts in cold and wet conditions on Wednesday night.

Both Under-15 Boys sides went down to narrow defeats to the Eastern Football League at A.K. Lines Reserve after leading for significant parts of the game.

Our Under-15 Girls Team 1 pushed Eastern Region Girls all the way at Belgrave South Recreation Reserve, although Team 2 couldn’t stop a very slick Essendon District Football League outfit at Greenvale Recreation Reserve.

Our two Under-14 Boys teams got their first taste of representative football and were beaten by strong Eastern Football League sides at Heathmont’s H.E. Parker Reserve, but will be better for the experience.

The six sides will be back in action on Saturday June 8, before backing up for Round 3 on Monday June 10.
