The 2023 Senior State Champions have been crowned following a spectacular weekend of Oztag in Coffs Harbour.
The Senior State Championships kicked off on Friday 17 March, which saw 179 teams brave the heat and lay it all on the line for the championship title.
Sunday’s Finals saw many qualifiers come down to the wire as teams took their game to the next level. Crowds grew louder and teams more determined as they itched closer to that gold medal.
In the Men’s 20s division, reigning champions, Baulkham Hills were knocked out in Semis following a 3-2 loss to Heathcote Engadine. However, it was Souths who bought it home – defeating Heathcote 5-4 in an exciting Grand Final showdown.
Central Coast Men’s 40s won gold for the fourth year in a row, while their talented Women’s 20s side made it a three-peat.
After taking home silver last year, Souths Men’s Opens came out firing – defeating reigning champions, Central Coast, 5-3 in a thrilling Semi Final before bringing it home with an 8-2 Grand Final victory over Penrith.
The nail-biter that was the Mixed Seniors Final saw South West Razorbacks take on Souths, with the Razorbacks coming out on top by one-point.
For the tenth consecutive year, finishing on 67 points, Central Coast Oztag have been crowned NSW Senior Club Champions.
In second place was Penrith on 62 points, and in third was Souths on 59.
