Hills Hornets Touch is very pleased to announce the following teams and train-on squads for Junior State Cup 2019. Train on squads will be put through 2 – 3 more training sessions before a final team for each division is announced on Monday 26 November. Training times and dates are listed with the squads below, and will take place at Wrights Rd Reserve (unless otherwise indicated).
To those who have been selected, congratulations on making it through this first step. The trials were extremely competitive in most age divisions, with selectors having to make many difficult decisions.
Requirements
- It is mandatory that all squad members attend the scheduled train-on squad sessions to be eligible for final team selection.
- Players who are named in a finalised team are required to attend a minimum of 80% of scheduled training sessions.
- Attendance at both the Scorpions & Parramatta Gala Days is mandatory (see dates below).
- All players must have registered and played in a qualifying number of games in the Hills Hornets local competition in either the autumn or spring season of 2018 to be eligible for final team selection.
Failure to meet these requirements will mean forfeiting the position in the squad or team.
Shadow Players
Shadow players are important members of each squad. In previous years, there are typically players who have withdrawn due to injury or other circumstances. With the State Cup Southern Conference in February now followed by the State Championships in April, maintaining a squad that includes shadows who train with the squad has become even more important.

The objective of the Dev team is to provide a pathway to the primary team for the 2020 State cup.
This has been a successful initiative with a number of players from last year’s Dev teams gaining selection in top teams this year.
