Hills Hornets Touch is very pleased to announce 2023 Junior State Cup Teams.
Training dates, time and location is listed for each team below.
To those who have been selected, congratulations! The trials were extremely competitive in all age divisions, with selectors having to make many difficult decisions.
Players who are named in a finalised team are required to attend a minimum of 80% of scheduled training sessions. Failure to meet this requirement will mean forfeiting their position in the team.
For those who have missed out on squad selection, there is still an opportunity to participate in our development programme. Please visit this page for more information and to express interest in participating.
Development Teams will be selected for participation in training and junior gala days where numbers permit.
Tournament Dates
Southern Conference – Friday 17th February to Sunday 19th February 2023,
Jubilee Park & Conolly Park, Wagga Wagga NSW (Home of Wagga Wagga Touch Association)
State Finals will be played on Sunday 5th of March at Tempe.
