SDNR REPLICA GAME BALL (4551/IND/24 and 4552/IND/24)
To celebrate the Sir Doug Nicholls Rounds in season 2024, Sherrin is proud to feature 'Koethuka Kakur' on this year’s footballs. Koethuka Kakur (pronounced koi - thika kakurrr with a rolling r) is the name for 'ball' in Kalaw Kawaw Ya dialect which is used in the top Western Torres Strait islands of Dauan, Sabai and Seisia communities.
Designed by Ben Nabea Davis - a proud Torres Strait Islander artist from Saibai and Waiben Island, the design of the Sir Doug Nicholls Round ball tells the story of connection through our game. Connection that reaches through time and out to all walks of life. It speaks about the indigenous men and women of our game before us who helped build it to where it is, and how through their struggles they have now given us a platform to stand on. It also represents how our generation will one day pass on leadership to our future generation.
The SDNR Replica Game Ball is a split-leather footy great for junior players learning the game. Featuring a softer more natural feel to the ball this football offers greater control for players of all skill levels. Featuring the Official 2024 SDNR design to celebrate this important round in the AFL season.
Proceeds from the Koethuka Kakur Game Balls will be donated to support Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Community Programs.
