Anderson was one of more than 250 athletes from 12 teams who descending into Davis to play three games each to help determine seeding for the national championships taking place in October in Franksville, Wisc.

Footy, as it’s more commonly known, plays on a large, cricket-sized field which made the wide open configuration of the Legacy Fields the perfect spot to host the tournament.

Good find.

Extracted from the Facebook Page.
Participation Figures as at July 31 2018.
32,000 kids and young adults currently play Australian rules football in South Africa, 40% of whom are women. ‘Footy wild’ is active in 92
primary schools and 46 high schools across the country.
Looks like some growth has occurred in recent times, which is good news.
Potentially a AFL South Africa Womens team may appear in future years.

We took another look at the Facebook articles and came up with further good news about the footy over there.
1/ There are officially nine Provinces in South Africa.
2/ There were originally four Provinces that had AFL support ie 4 x AFL Clubs got involved with a Province each way back when.
3/ Checking the articles there are now two more Provinces - Limpopo and Mpumalanga that have a footy presence.
4/ The total now adds up to six provinces, which may explain the decent numbers of schools involved.
5/ North West Province has the most Centres listed -Eleven - AFL South Africa is based at Senwes Park Cricket Stadium, Potchefstroom in Northwest Province
Its all positive news for our game over there.

Somebody has been busy in Canada from when I last looked quite a while back.
Congratulations to all on the development in all areas of the game.
