Is Hugo the SA’s next footy star?

One young South Aussie looking to snap up the title (and the prize) is five-year-old Hugo Telenko.

He is currently enjoying his first season with Auskick and has joined the program at Flinders Park Footy Club.

The young gun is already showing promise and loves nothing more than kicking the footy with his mates.

While his dad, Mitch Telenko admits that his son’s favourite footy team “changes every day” he can’t help but come back to Port Adelaide which all his friends support.

“Crows didn’t even get a look in,” Mr Telenko said.

Hugo said he loves AFL because “you get to kick the ball” and hopes to keep chasing his new-found passion as he grows in his skills.
