With just over two weeks to go until the opening of the 2011 AFL Oceania Cup, the Fiji Junior Tribe will be looking forward to facing the rest of the Pacific when they arrive on December 12.
Teams from Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Nauru and New Zealand will be up against the Junior Tribesman who will be looking to improve on their 3rd place finish this time last year in Tonga.
AFL Fiji development officer, Glen Butler revealed the Oceania Cup will not only decide who the champions of the Pacific will be but also select the Oceania Under-16s and South Pacific U18s squads to play in Australia next year.
“In 2011, seven Fijians represented these squads but we are hoping more will be involved in 2012,” Butler said.
“This is a great opportunity to test the talent pool in the pacific and the potential for future recruitment in the AFL,” Butler added.
The Australian Boomerangs; an U16 indigenous side will be here to compete against two Pacific representative selected sides."
