On the 26th of September, in the build-up to the AFL Grand Final, Don College played a football game against Launceston College. The event, which was held at Penguin’s Dial Park was organized by Mitchell Dell, Jesse Shepheard, Luka Argent and Liam Viney, who are students of the Sports Management class.
The Sport Management class, which is run in association with UTAS, had been given the task to create and plan a sporting event for the school/local area that involved community participation. The game was high quality, with both teams including a number of Tasmania Devil’s under 18 players and NWFL and NTFA under 18 representative players.

The Don team was successful on the day, running out winners by 50+ points. Liam Viney and Joey Chaplin both led from the front, while Luka Argent and Ben Callaghan were lively in the front half of the ground.

The group of boys who organized the event, along with the rest of the team would like to thank Sharrelle Preston, Justin Rodman and all of the Sport Management volunteers who helped on the day to enable such a smooth running of the event.
