AFL SportsReady Cup kicks
off for 2012
Term 2 of this year’s Secondary
School sporting calendar marks the 25th season of the
AFL SportsReady Schoolboys Cup. School Sport WA and the West
Australian Football Commission have worked in close partnership for 25 years
to deliver this quality competition and have continued to develop the
cooperative links between schools and the community.
The
AFL SportsReady Schoolboys Cup offers a
well organised, efficient and high quality football competition, catering
for over 3000 students from country and metropolitan schools.
Over the 24 year journey, a total
of 60,000 school boys have participated in the
AFL SportsReady Schoolboys Cup
competition.
A highlight of the competition has
been the opportunity to name patrons for the different competition
divisions. These include WA legends Barry Cable, Billy Walker, Ross
Glendinning and Glen Jakovich, who each proudly support this concept and
thoroughly enjoy the opportunity to attend school fixtures.
2012 will see over 80 Senior High
Schools battle it out in their respective divisions with the pinnacle of the
program the “Cable Division” Grand Final, which will be showcased as a
curtain Raiser to the West Coast v Brisbane AFL clash on Sunday July 29.
The WAFC and School Sport WA wish
all teams a rewarding year in the
AFL SportsReady Schoolboys Cup competition.
