20 jumpers in 20 days: #18-15
Port Stephens Power Junior Football Club, in the Hunter region, was the third signed Sydney Swans jumper giveaway winner, with junior club growth of 45% this year.
The next jumper recipient goes to the club with the highest percentage of Auskick growth across the region, and in a very close call Killarney Vale Bombers are the winners.
The Bombers, based on the Central Coast, more than doubled their numbers from 14 Auskickers in 2013 to 30 Auskickers in 2014, edging out the West Magpies, who grew from 33 to 69.
The next jumper giveaway rewards the club which experienced highest growth in the Youth Girls space, with Queenwood taking the honours, thanks to a brilliant 2014 season, where they saw a monumental spike in numbers.
The club’s Youth Girls participant base grew from 19 to 56; a massive 294% increase.
North Shore Bombers are the sixth worthy recipients of the signed Swans jumper, after recording the largest growth in their senior club’s ranks this year.
The Bombers, who look set to play finals in Division 4 and Under 19s, fielded a club record five senior sides in 2014, growing numbers from 153 in 2013 to 227 in 2014; a jump of 48%.
AFL NSW/ACT will count down the winners of ’20 jumpers in 20 days’ up until Monday September 1, the day Sydney Swans’ finals tickets go on sale to the general public.
