Day 1 Our SCNA u14s got off to a cracking start at the NSW Junior State Titles at Baulkham Hills today with a clean sweep winning all 6 matches. Things will be hotting up tomorrow on Day 2 as they take on 7 more teams from NSW! Day 2 Our u14s fought some tough battles at NSW Junior State Titles on Day 2 of competition as things heated up in Baulkham Hills. An early loss to an in form Bathurst squad and a narrow one point loss to Orange fired up the team to finish out the day with 5 wins from 7 games leaving them second place on the ladder. Day 3 Saw our u14s shine with some great performances across six matches to round out the last day of the tournament. Today saw four wins and two narrow losses (including a one point loss to the eventual competition winners Hawkesbury) and a 4th place finish overall. A fantastic team effort from a fantastic group of girls, coaches and supporters! Thanks to SCNA for supporting this great development opportunity! Now for a well deserved rest!
