Dear Parents,
Over the past few weeks the Magpies Junior Football Club and Belconnen Cats Junior AFL Club have been in discussion regarding our U16 and U18 boys teams for the 2022 season.
A decision has been reached to form one Belconnen team for each of these age groups. This decision is a wonderful sign of unity between the two local Belconnen teams and demonstrates the strength and passion for football that will feed into our seniors at Belconnen Magpies in years to come. This decision is primarily based on transitioning our junior players into the Senior football club. These two teams will be known as the Belconnen Juniors and play in the senior club jersey.
Further a Men’s Rising Stars team (u18) will also be fielded from both Cats and Magpies players.
Based on previous encounters all of our combined boys teams will be extremely competitive across the AFL Canberra competition. We can’t wait to get out there and represent Belconnen proudly.
