Victorian U13 Boys shine in Tasmania
Each year Football Federation Tasmania host a number of State teams from across the country to participate in a festival involving six games per team across three days.

As part of the Victorian U13 Boys State Team program, the squad travelled to Devonport giving them a valuable opportunity to develop their playing style and team cohesion.

Head Coach Anthony Frost was pleased with the squads progression stating: “The group responded well over the course of the event with strong individual and collective performances. We’re confident that the festival has provided us with a really good platform to help us continue our development over the course of the year, with any opportunity to play against good teams in our age group seen as a positive one.”
