Sharks to represent WA at State Level

Thursday, May 9, 2013 - 9:27 PM

Three East Fremantle players will play for the WA State team against Victoria on Saturday in Northam.  Steven Dodd, Rory O’Brien and Andrew Stephen will once again pull on the yellow and black guernsey. All three players have represented at State level before, Dodd and Stephen in 2012, while Rory played in 2011. You can support the boys by heading to Northam for tomorrow’s game. Bounce Down is at midday. The game will also be shown on ABC TV in a delayed telecast from 2pm.
