The sponsorship agreement with MBF is now in its third year and AFL Tasmania will be seeking to renew the partnership for 2004 and beyond over coming months. The sponsorship has been a great boost to junior / youth football in Tasmania and we are seeking the support of media to preview the grand finals in each region.
AFL Tasmania will coordinate photo / vision opportunities for all media outlets from Monday 25th August with grand final participants.
