What a great opportunity for these kids.

European Legion to take on Aussie young guns
AFL Europe has announced that the European squad to take on the AIS-AFL Academy team in London during Easter on April 23rd will be known as the European Legion.
The title results from a poll conducted on their website, narrowly beating the Titans and Stars.
The elite young academy players will also visit Italy and Turkey during their tour. See AIS-AFL Academy to tour Europe in 2011 for more details.
The European Legion will be composed mainly of U-21 Players from the various European Leagues with a limited number of U-23 players to add senior experience. The team will be coached by former Melbourne Player and AFL Europe Commissioner Glenn Lovett. For those interested in having players considered for selection or for players interested in finding out the selection criteria you can e-mail team.manager@afleurope.org.

You are correct... The match will be held at Dulwich College in the South of London... Entry is free!!
This is a great opportunity to get together with your work mates, family and friends in the beautiful surrounds of Dulwich College (South London) in what has been an amazing start to spring. I hope to see you all there and cheering on the future stars of the AFL and the best we have in Europe.
A BBQ and Bar will be available at the facility. Parking is available and public transport is also very convenient to the location (please see below and attached map).
Feel free to promote this far and wide and let’s get as many Aussies and locals out to what is sure to be a great spectacle.
