North Melbourne youngsters Shaun Atley and Ben Mabon will be sharing their knowledge of the game with Northern Lights’ members and friends at Friday night’s KNOWing Footy event.

The pair will talk about their experiences at an AFL club and the rules and skills of Australian Rules to provide a better understanding of the game.

The Northern Lights, North’s women’s supporters’ group has been running KNOWING Footy events since to 2005 to give members an insight into the inner workings of a professional AFL club.
