AFL

Newington old boy Dane Rampe (ON ’08) made his starting debut for the Sydney Swans against Greater Western Sydney Giants in round 1 of the 2013 AFL season. Dane was a talented sportsman at Newington and was part of the Swans Academy whilst at school. Dane was picked up by the Swans in the 2012 draft. We wish Dane all the very best for the season.
