Penrith Rams would like to congratulate Under 18's players Jack Ponton and Liam Murphy on their selection in the Under 18's Pioneers (Western Sydney Giants) to compete in the NSW Zone Trials in Coffs Harbour in January. The Rams will proudly fund their trip under the Youth Development Scheme and wish them the best for the tournament. A few other players who tried out for the squad can consider themselves very unlucky in not making the squad which was named recently.
It is Jack's second successive trip to play in Coffs Harbour whilst Liam was called up into the side at the last minute as a replacement for an injured player and will be out to prove that his selection was 100% warranted.
The "IGA" Penrith Rams Youth Development Scheme was commenced in late 2009 to ease the cost to players and families in funding the considerable expense of playing with the squad and is believed to be the only scheme in Under 18's football in the Sydney AFL competition of this type.
