Was looking at results on the Black Diamond website today when i came across this article...great idea i think. Black Diamond FL players will be in contention for state selection next year according to leading officials from different parts of NSW.
BDAFL General Manager, Garry Burkinshaw met with several officials in his recent trip to the Riverina where the subject of representative football came up.
"Because of our good performance at the rep match in Culcairn in May, a number of officials maintain that we should also have the opportunity for state selection" Mr Burkinshaw said.
"Its quite clear we have the quality here, its been building up over the past few years so interstate representation is surely their end reward".
Next year a team will be selected from country NSW to participate in the Australian Country Championships and the league will be pushing the barrow for players from this area to be selected.
The only recent player to achieve state honours is Warners Bay David Metcalf who was picked to play with NSW in 1997.
what do you think?
