The Washington Junior Australian Football Club took its next first step on Saturday. The Club hosted the DC Eagles in a game of AFLX at Yorktown High School in Arlington VA. With a team made up mostly of teenagers, many of whom are growing up in the USA, the Washington Juniors took on the DC Eagles, a local adult team led by former Collingwood player, Danny Seow. In weather that was more like winter in the home of footy, Melbourne Australia, than summer in Washington DC, the Juniors came within 1 point of upsetting the Eagles.
