Hills Hornets Touch is very pleased to announce the following Junior State Cup Teams & Development Squads for 2020.  Training times and dates are listed with the squads below, and will take place at Wrights Rd Reserve (unless otherwise indicated by Coaches).

To those who have been selected, congratulations and best wishes for a successful campaign. The trials were extremely competitive in most age divisions, with selectors having to make many difficult decisions.

Requirements

  • Players who are named in a finalised team are required to attend a minimum of 80% of scheduled training sessions.
  • Attendance at both the Wallsend & Parramatta Gala Days is mandatory (see dates below).

Failure to meet these requirements will mean forfeiting their position in the team.

Shadow Players

Shadow players are important members of each squad. In previous years we have had players who have had to withdraw due to injury or other circumstances.  With the State Cup Southern Conference in February followed by the State Finals in March, maintaining a squad that includes shadows who train with the squad has become even more important.

Gala Day Dates

Attendance at the Wallsend Gala Day and Parramatta Gala Evening is mandatory for all Southern Conference Teams:

  • Wallsend Invitational – Sunday 19th January 2020 (all day)
  • Parramatta – Friday 31st January 2020 (twilight-evening)

Coaches may choose to participate in additional Gala Days and will advise their teams accordingly.
