gvflAfter some strong early season performances Scott Beattie and his selectors have had the difficult task of limiting the interleague squad to face the Essendon District Football League (EDFL) in the inaugural AFL Victoria Community Championships to played at Windy Hill on Saturday 21 May.

The initial squad selected to face the EDFL contains 35 players.

Benalla has the most representation (7) followed by Kyabram (5) and Echuca (4).

New coach Scott Beattie is excited at the opportunity that lies ahead.

"The EDFL have selected a very strong squad and we know we have the players capable of doing the job" he said.

"We have selected our squad based on feedback from all senior coaches, selectors at games and overall form, and in that vein good form can see players added to the squad in the coming weeks."

"The squad will train together twice with sessions at Kings Park, Seymour on Wednesday 11 May and Deakin Reserve, Shepparton on Wednesday 18 May before the final team is announced."

The U18.5 squad will be released later today.
