An entirely new Victorian 17 and under Boys netball team has been selected featuring 16-year-old Kilmore resident Benjamin Morgan.
The side will represent Victoria at the 2024 Australian Men’s and Mixed Netball Championships in Brisbane – the biggest annual event on the men’s netball calendar.
The team will compete against six other states in a round competition culminating in finals on Friday and Saturday.
Morgan will play defence and has a strong ability to read the play.
Head coach Sarah Hogan said Morgan’s work ethic was strong.
“Benjamin Morgan boasts a ridiculous work rate,” she said.
The tournament – in its 35th year – began Sunday and concludes Saturday, April 6.
Morgan began his netball career playing for Avenel in the Kyabram District League and in 2021 he added the Victorian Men’s and Mixed Netball League junior M-League to his weekly schedule.
Over the past two years Morgan has competed in Netball Victoria’s Association Championships and state titles.
