Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs juniors Paul Alamoti and Joseph O’Neill, as well as Turoa Williams have been named in the NSWRL Harold Matthews representative team.

The three juniors are a part of a 20-man squad that will face the Country Rugby League’s NSW Country Representative Team in an Under-16s match at Panthers Stadium on Friday 17 May.

Paul Alamoti comes from the Milperra Colts club and is a first year Harold Matthews player who played in the centres. Paul is currently in the Bulldogs High Performance Program and his achievement is even greater given the fact that his NSW Under 16 selection has come as a 15-year old.

Joseph O’Neill comes from the Berala Bears club and was the captain of the Bulldogs Harold Matthews team playing in the halfback position. The 2019 season was Joseph’s second year as a Harold Matts player and in 2018 the talented half graduated from the club’s High-Performance Program.

Turoa Williams is the son of Canterbury 1995 premiership player Jason and has been selected on the wing. The 16-year old is new to the club having recently moved to the Bankstown Sports Club and scored 10 tries throughout the season, including a hat-trick against the North Sydney Bears in round nine of the competition.

Luke Vella has been named coach of the team, and is the current assistant coach of the Bulldogs Jersey Flegg side and a former player with the club’s lower grades. He has been rewarded for his outstanding contribution to pathways and his hard work and dedication to the development of the game’s next generation of players.
