Three Panthers Named in SA Under-20 Squad

South Adelaide young guns Ben Heaslip, Rhys Bartram and Cody Szust (left to right above) have been selected in the initial SA Under-20 Squad.

South Australia's best Under-20 players will face the McDonald's SA Under-18 team in the curtain raiser to the SANFL vs VFL state game on Sunday May 29.

Set to play from 10.55am before the West End State team tackles the VFL, the clash could see Heaslip, Bartram and Szust face off against Panthers juniors Dylan Whimpress and Nathan Kreuger, who were named to the McDonald's SA Under-18 squad last week.

Speaking on SANFL TV, SANFL High Performance Manager Brenton Phillips said the match was a great opportunity for the Under-20s to press their claims in front of AFL recruiters at the home of SA football and the squad contains an even representation from all eight non-AFL aligned SANFL clubs.
