Junior Carnival Wrap
The Junior Carnival consisted of the Junior Capital Pairs and the ACT Junior Singles. In the Capital Pairs, it was the Waters Brothers from Yass, Harry and Logan, who took out the top spot by a singular shot. They finished unbeaten from their three games with a positive margin of +34. Second place went to the pairing of Annabel Teague from Merrylands and Jordan Sturgiss of Goulburn Railway. They also finished undefeated after their three games with a positive margin of +33.
In The ACT Junior Singles, the final was a re-match of last year, with Toby Penyu of Yass coming up against Jordan Sturgiss of Goulburn Railway. Both made it through their semis with Toby accounting for Harry Waters 21-18 and Jordan defeating Logan Waters 21-9. Toby was able to get the better of Jordan in a high quality affair. Toby managed to win with a final score of 21-17, a valiant effort by both juniors.
Junior BPL Wrap
Our Junior BPL Team, The Capital Phoenix, took part in the inaugural Junior BPL Challenge held at Moama. Our team of Alicia Murphy, Logan Waters and Tom Penyu had a strong section to compete against, with the juniors of teams such as the Sydney Lions, and eventual winners Melbourne Pulse. The week was highlighted with a win against the Moama Steamers juniors, claiming the first set 8-2 and drawing the second set 4 all.
Our Juniors now set their sights on the NSW Junior 7-A-Side at Dubbo later this year. We congratulate all of our juniors on a successful start to the year, and look forward to seeing what else 2025 has in store for them!
