Melbourne Victory stars shine in Yarraville

Young soccer stars of the future have had a ball with some of their favourite Melbourne Victory stars in Yarraville.

Male players Marco Rojas, Alan Baro and Mitch Austin (pictured), along with female star Gulcan Koca, put 60 grade 1 and 2 pupils through their paces in a recent clinic at St Augustine’s Primary School.

The school visit was won by parent Joel Hitt, an employee of Melbourne Victory energy partner AGL Energy, which ran a competition.

The stars stayed late at the school following the clinic to answer questions and sign autographs for their young fans.
