Get to the ground early on Saturday to watch the Grand Final of the McLeod Challenge.

The curtain-raiser will feature two matches from 11.20 - 12.10 on AAMI Stadium.

The boys Grand Final is Port Augusta High versus a Meningie/Immanuel/LeFevre combined side. The girls division is John Pirie/Port Augusta-combined versus Roma Mitchell High.

The McLeod Challenge is a nine- a- side competition for Year Eight and Nine Aboriginal youth across regional South Australia. The McLeod Challenge is part of Adelaide’s key Indigenous programs, in partnership with Crows great Andrew McLeod, to allow Indigenous youth access to similar opportunities McLeod experienced during his career.

The programs use sport and mentoring to engage and educate Aboriginals youths, providing them with the experience, skills and knowledge required to seek independence, self-determination and the individual capacity to achieve their goals.

The Andrew McLeod Challenge, Aboriginal Youth Leadership and Governance Program, and the Future Leaders Program are unique in that they focus on continued mentoring of participants from remote and regional areas of South Australia.

Next year, McLeod and the Club are hoping the McLeod Challenge will involve more than 750 youth across South Australia.
