Lual Lual takes a spectacular mark in his senior debut for Cora Lynn in the West Gippsland league

Those special moments when players are filmed being told they've been picked for their debut don't just happen at the elite level. They're part of community footy, too. 

When Lual Lual was told he'd be making his senior debut for Cora Lynn in the West Gippsland league, it clearly meant a lot to him.

It also made him the first Sudanese-born player to represent the club at senior level.

"A dream, to be honest. One of those things I just want to do," Lual said when he received the news from coach David Main. 

He then went out against Bunyip, kicked the first goal of the game, took a spectacular mark and finished with two goals in his team's 10-goal win.
