SOUTH Australia has announced the squad it will take to the National AFLW Under 18 Championships, with 24 players confirmed in the team yesterday<\/a>.

West Adelaide and South Adelaide dominate the squad, making up almost half of the team with six and five representatives respectively. Woodville-West Torrens and North Adelaide have three representatives, Central District, Norwood and Sturt each have two representatives, while Madisyn Freeman<\/strong> is the sole Glenelg member. Bill Economou will coach the team, with Tess Baxter, Craig Lum and Rick Watts named as his assistants.<\/p>\n
