WA Country 50-Year All-Stars

The best players to have competed at Country Week in Western Australia between 1965 and 2013 were named at a special dinner hosted by Landmark on Friday, April 4.

The dinner, which celebrated 40-years of Landmark’s sponsorship of Country Week (now known as the Landmark Country Football Championships), saw the 50-Year All-Stars officially announced by selector Cameron Knapton.

All of the players selected in the team have also been invited to the Landmark 50-Year Launch on July 9, prior to the 2014 Landmark Country Championships.
