We sincerely appreciate all the players that applied for this sponsorship, and we’re very sorry we could not select more people, only 3 positions were available this time. We received many applications, a lot of very high standard, who are certainly worthy of sponsorship, but we were unable to offer it this time. We are confident this sponsorship arrangement will be successful in Australia, which will hopefully lead to further sponsorship opportunities.
All applicants have been notified via Email already (if you did not receive it check your junk mail).
