The ActewAGL AFL Canberra Junior Presentation Night was held on Wednesday night with more than 200 people from the AFL Canberra Junior community in attendance. ActewAGL have supported local footy in the ACT for over 20 years and allow us to continue to grow our great game.

Maggie Gotham from Magpies Juniors was named as the Captain and Leo Lahey (Tuggeranong Bulldogs/Eastlake Demons) for the coach.
