Four Territorians to feature in Allies squad at the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships

The Allies squad to compete at the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships – U18 Boys has been announced.
 
The Allies are the reigning title-holders after going through last year's Championships undefeated to win the title for the first time.
 
Since the current format was introduced in 2016, which sees the Allies, South Australia, Victoria Country, Victoria Metro and Western Australia play each other once, the Allies had never previously won more than one of their four matches.
 
The 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships – U18 Boys will be played from late May through to July and will feature the most talented under 18 boys footballers from across Australia.
 
The 31-player Allies squad features players from New South Wales/ACT, Northern Territory, Queensland and Tasmania.
 
Marsh AFL National Academy members and Australia U18 team representatives Joel Cochran, Oliver Dean, Leo Lombard, Sam Marshall, Ricky Mentha and Jobe Shanahan feature in the 2024 squad.
 
Bottom-age players Daniel Annable, Lachlan Carmichael, Noah Chamberlain, Taj Murray, Zeke Uwland and Kalani White have been included after being named in the 2023 AFL National Development Championships – U16 Boys All Australian team.
 
Additional players may be included in the Allies squad throughout the Championships.
 
Brisbane Lions Academy boys coach Mitch Hahn has been appointed head coach.
 
The Allies will commence their campaign on Sunday, May 26 when they take on South Australia at Thebarton Oval.
 
They will then play Western Australia at Blacktown International Sportspark on Sunday, June 2, before taking on Victoria Metro at IKON Park on Sunday, June 9 ahead of their final clash on Sunday, July 7 against Victoria Country at Brighton Homes Arena.
