South Australia’s most talented male mid-teen footballers have faced off at the 2023 SANFL U15 Intrastate Carnival held from Tuesday July 18 to Thursday July 20.
All eight SANFL clubs fielded two teams across the second week of the school holidays, with boys featuring in the Metro U15 and Country U15 competitions.
Teams were split into two divisions – Pool A and Pool B – with six SANFL venues and the Summit Oval in Mount Barker, hosting matches across each of the three days.
Metro and Country matches were live streamed exclusively on The Advertiser’s streaming platform, KommunityTV, allowing those living in regional areas or interstate the chance to watch the action live without traveling to Adelaide.
The carnival is an integral facet of SANFL’s Development Plan as it enables SANFL Clubs to observe players against quality opposition to assist with selection into their U16s Centre of Excellence for the boys.
See below for the results from Day 3 of the Carnival.
