Brad Wing, a punter from Victoria and son of former Berwick Miners player David will take to the field in the BCS Championship Game on Tuesday 10th January AEST for the LSU Tigers to take on fellow Aussie, Queenslander DE Jesse Williams and the Alabama Crimson Tide.
Wing, a former Aussie Rules player cut from the Sandringham Dragons has taken College football by storm, recording an average punt of 44.1 yards and booming a 73 yarder against Alabama when they met earlier this year.

Congratulations to the Bay City Buccaneers who won the 2011 Junior Vic Bowl, defeating the Croydon Rangers 16-14 in a close, thrilling match at Ranger Field in Croydon.
