THE AFL Under-18 Boys Championships continue when Western Australia takes on Vic Country at the WACA on Friday night. 

WA is coming off its first win of the championships, a 26-point victory over SA, with prolific midfielders Clay Hall and Aiden O'Driscoll prominent. Star defender Daniel Curtin also shone, keeping promising bottom-aged SA forward Tyler Welsh quiet. 

Potential No.1 pick Harley Reid will take the field for Vic Country, having booted the first three goals of the eventual loss to South Australia a fortnight ago. He will be joined by another likely first-round pick in Zane Duursma, the brother of Port Adelaide pair Xavier and Yasmin, and ruck prospect Archer Reid.

The championships will be played throughout June and July between Vic Metro, Vic Country, South Australia, Western Australia and the Allies (comprised of players from the ACT, NSW, Northern Territory, Queensland and Tasmania). 

All five teams will play each other once across the course of the U18 tournament, and the team with the best record from the round-robin tournament will be crowned the winner.
