The VFL Oval at Casey Fields was transformed into a sea of colour on Sunday as the South East Juniors (SEJ) kick-started their season with the hugely popular Little Demons Day.

The main oval was split into several smaller-sized playing fields, with players, coaches and umpires sharing a stage usually reserved for VFL games and Melbourne AFL training.

Teams from under 8s through to under 10s took part in Little Demons Day, which acts as the curtain-dropper on the SEJ season.

Gazette Sport – proudly supported by Gumbuya World – will run a weekly segment on SEJ football this season, where we highlight the future stars of the game.
