“Anthony will be a great inclusion to our interleague program in 2023. His knowledge and expertise will give the players a real boost to not only perform at this level, but to take back to their home clubs only strengthening our competition,” Bettio said
Kouta will go head to head with Hampden royalty with Jonathon Brown headlining their interleague squad.
“Browny” as he is more affectionately known has been at the helm of HFNL for previous seasons and this clash right here in Ballarat should be one to be witnessed.
The 2023 format which will see the game played at Mars Stadium on July 1, under 23 will be the headline act showcasing the talent both leagues have on offer.
Both leagues agreed upon running an under 23 competitions for 2023 to expose the talent within who have missed out on representative football over the past 3 years.
