City Conquer NSW Junior City v Country

17 Jun 2021

The NSW Junior City v Country came to a successful conclusion on Sunday 13 June with City crowned 2021 champions.

After the 2020 event ended in a dead heat between City and Country, it was highly anticipated that this year’s tournament would showcase some quality Oztag on the Central Coast.

Drawn from the Junior State Cup tournaments in February, City Country selection is an opportunity for players to combine with their region’s best and play off for the prestigious championship title

The standard of talent saw the 2021 tournament come down to the wire, with City claiming eight of the 14 titles, and Country claiming six.

City’s success was credit to the Southern City Seahawks who took out six Grand Final wins. They dominated both the Boys and Girls 11s divisions, and claimed victory in the Girls 12s, Boys 15s, Boys 16s and Boys 17s divisions.

The Western City Scorpions also contributed to City’s eight titles, taking home gold in the Boys 12s and Girls 14s divisions.

Southern Country Pride almost equally dominated the tournament, claiming all six of Country’s titles.

While the Northern Country Knights did not manage qualified for three Grand Finals, they did not manage to walk away with gold.

The prestigious High Performance Academy (HPA) for 2021 was once again selected from the 14 and 15-year-old age groups at the City v Country tournament.

The HPA invites a squad of 56 rising stars to the Academy of Sport at Narrabeen in November; of these, 40 players are selected from City Country, and 16 are nominated from ACT Oztag.

It is an opportunity for players to learn from the game’s elite coaches, with focus on developing game specifics that will benefit them in their future endeavours.
