The 2023 NSW Junior State Cup 9s-10s Champions were crowned on Sunday, following a successful weekend of Oztag in Penrith.
NSW Oztag welcomed 80 teams to The Kingsway Playing Fields on Saturday 11 Feb, for the first tournament of 2023 – the Under 9s-10s State Championships.
In over 30-degree heat, teams took the field with unwavering enthusiasm – quick to apply their months of training and produce some spectacular games of Oztag.
However, due to the weather conditions reaching the ‘Extreme Risk’ Zone on Saturday, a decision was made in alliance with Oztag’s Duty of Care to postpone all Saturday afternoon games to Sunday.
Despite the persisting heat, the energy was electric come day two as teams were prepared to lay it all on the line in hope of qualifying for Finals.
The crowds grew louder as games were taken to another level, evident in the numerous qualifiers that resulted in a one-point difference or headed into thrilling extra time drop offs.
Below are the Grand Final results. Congratulations to all 2023 Junior State Champions.
- Boys 9s: Camden defeated Nepean 3 – 0
- Girls 9s: ACT defeated Central Coast 3 – 1
- Boys 10s: Highest qualifiers, Baulkham Hills were crowned champions following a 2 – 2 draw with Sutherland after extra time
- Girls 10s: Camden defeated Souths 1 – 0
Credit to all winning teams, as well as Sutherland and Souths Boys 10s for finishing the tournament undefeated – an incredible achievement.
