Manunda Hawks Aidan Di Pietro is Round 14’s AFL Cairns Rising Star.

Aidan first tasted senior football in Cairns during this seasons XXXX Gold Preseason Cup but made his official senior debut in Round 1 against Centrals Trinity Beach. Round 14 was Aidan’s 9th senior match for his career, boasting an impressive 14 goal tally to his name. Aidan has proved to be an elusive forward with silky skills who can finish in front of goals, but also has the ability to play across half back and turn defence into attack. Aidan’s willingness to learn and his ‘never say die attitude’ holds him in good stead for a long senior career. Aidan is also a leader and important player in Manunda Hawks Colts side. Congratulations Aidan on an excellent 2014 season so far and your Rising Star nomination.

As this round nominee, you receive a 30 minute massage at Nirvana Massage, Cairns, thanks to our wonderful sponsors Noelene & Troy.
