The Manunda Hawks Football Club have worked tirelessly in 2014 with developing and improving young footballers. Their list, while young at present, boasts plenty of emerging talent, and this week’s AFL Cairns Rising Star nomination is another great example of that.

Congratulations to Arnold Conway, the Round 15 nominee. Arnold made his AFL Cairns Senior debut in Round 8 and has since gone on to play 5 Senior matches and kicking 2 goals. Arnold has also played 3 Reserve grade matches in 2014 and is a regular Colts player for Hawks, having played 12 Colts matches so far this season. The 17 year old, budding midfielder has a great work ethic and willingness to improve.

Congratulations Arnold.
