The 2023 Junior National Champions have been crowned following a spectacular three days of Oztag in Coffs Harbour.
The Junior Australian Championships kicked off on Friday 14 October which saw 198 teams across 18 divisions determined to take home the National title.
The intensity, skill-level and sportsmanship on show made for an awesome atmosphere for everybody in attendance.
Sunday’s Finals proved to be one of the most entertaining displays of Junior Oztag in recent years. With numerous sudden-death clashes sent into extra-time, it showcased just how exceptional our junior talent is across the country.
The Tigers Girls 15s and Girls 16’s secured their spot in the history books as they won their sixth consecutive national title.
The Orcas Girls 13s made it four in a row, while the Tigers Boys 11s also continued their winning streak (three in a row).

Now back-to-back champions, the Tigercubs proved to dominate Finals day – qualifying for semis in all 18 divisions.
Of these, 13 teams advanced to the Grand Final and a remarkable 12 took home gold – cementing them as the region to beat.
In second place was Central Coast, on 84 points and Stingrays trailed closely in third on 78 points.
