The 2024 Junior State Champions have been crowned following a spectacular three days of Oztag in Coffs Harbour.
The much-anticipated Junior State Championships 11-17s kicked off on Friday 23 February, which saw a record 325 teams across 14 divisions determined to take home the title.
Sunday’s Finals saw C.ex Stadium come alive with the roar of spectators on the edge of their seats as numerous games resulted in a one-point difference, or came down to exhilarating extra time drop offs.
In torrential rain, skills were put to the test as it became a game of field position, defense and set completion.
However, with New South Wales Origin selection on the table, teams proved even more determined to leave nothing in the tank – giving their all right to the full-time buzzer .
The clinical Baulkham Hills Girls 17s continued their dynasty, defeating ACT 3-0 to secure their eighth gold medal – a remarkable achievement to win every year since Under 10s.
Following down the same successful path is the Souths Girls 14s, who won their sixth consecutive championship, and Central Coast Boys 13s who made it four in-a-row.
Baulkham Hills Girls 15s put an end to Central Coast’s five-year winning streak, defeating them by two in a thrilling Grand Final showdown.
The Central Coast Boys 11s went through the whole tournament not only undefeated, but without conceding a single point. However, Nepean came out on top when it mattered, beating them 1-0 in the Grand Final.
Central Coast Boys 17s ended their Junior campaign on a high, defeating first-time Grand Finalist, Inner West in a nail-biting 4-3 clash.
Following a dominant performance at both Junior State Cup tournaments, NSW Oztag are pleased to announce the 2024 NSW Club Champions – on 106 points, Central Coast.
From the Under 9s through to U17s, Central Coast had 17 of their 18 teams qualify for Quarter Finals, 14 made Semis, and nine advanced to the Grand Final.
Of these, six Central Coast teams took home gold – a testament to the players, coaching staff and all involved with the club.
In second place was Souths on 72 points, and in third was Cronulla on 68.
