Juniors shine on Etihad Stadium


Published on Wednesday, May 22, 2013

Research and Laurimar players enjoyed a great day at the footy recently, when they played in the half-time game on Etihad Stadium.

The under-11 and under-12 players featured in the main half-time game during the North Melbourne and Brisbane Lions clash in Round 4.

Despite being opponents in the NFL competition, the players from both Laurimar and Research competed in mixed sides for both the Kangaroos and Lions.

The half-time match was drawn, with both sides kicking four points apiece.

In an extra thrill for the players, they prepared in the same change rooms that North Melbourne and Brisbane used on the day.

Players were also able to select the number they wore.
