After a stellar performance with the Finley Zone team, Charlie earned his spot in the Western Riverina team a few weeks ago.
He then took to the field against the Eastern Riverina team, competing for a place in the Riverina team that will head to the NSW AFL PSSA Championships later this year.
In what is an incredible achievement, Charlie was selected for a spot in the AFL Riverina team and will now head to Sydney twice this year for both softball and AFL.
Congratulations Charlie on such an amazing effort!
