NSW Junior State Cup 12s-17s: Finals Wrap
The Junior State Cup 12s-17s has come to an end and what a tournament it was! Last weekend spectators at C.ex Coffs International Stadium saw thrilling matches, and unforgettable moments as over 300 teams competed for Oztag glory.
After an intense weekend of competition, the best of the best emerged victorious. This tournament marked the final Junior State Cup appearance for our Boys and Girls 17s premier divisions, and they delivered an incredible showcase of Oztag.
The Boys 17s final saw ACT Cougars defeat Central Coast in one of the most thrilling games to date. The match went to extra time, with Jesse Fordham chasing down a kick in their own half to win the game and the championship. In the Girls 17s final, Cronulla defeated Souths in a tight defensive battle, with the only try of the game coming from Jess Henville in the first half. It was an extra special victory for the Cronulla girls, as the core group has played together since Under 9s. Having never won it before, they will now retire their junior careers as champions. One of the standout matchups of the weekend was the Girls 15s final between Nepean and Souths. The Souths girls had never lost a State Cup since their Under 9s debut. However, last Sunday, Nepean finally ended their reign and look to start their own era of dominance.
Congratulations to Central Coast who claimed the Club Championship with an impressive 84 points, while Cronulla, Nepean, and Souths all tied for second place with 74 points.
