THE COMBINED Central Allies and Eastern Allies teams have been named ahead of next week's round two of the NAB AFLW under-18 Championships.

Academy players Mia King (pictured above) and New Zealander Killarney Morey join five of their Tasmanian teammates in the Eastern Allies side, with the remainder of the squad made up of players from NSW/ACT.

Morey is a member of the NZ Kahu youth girls' Australian Football squad which has an alliance with Tasmania. Earlier this year, she played for the state in the under-18 NAB League competition and has since risen through the ranks.

The Eastern Allies side was formed after a two-match series between Tasmania and NSW/ACT, and Steve Maher (NSW/ACT) has been named coach.

As has previously been the case, round one saw South Australia play two matches against Northern Territory, with the two teams now joining forces to form the Central Allies.

Sixteen of the 24-strong squad – including NAB AFLW Academy members Jaimi Tabb and Montana McKinnon – are from South Australia, while Northern Territory coach Heidi Thompson is taking the reins.
