Hills Hornets Touch is very pleased to announce final teams for our 2026 Junior State Cup campaign.
To those who have been selected, congratulations! Trials this year have been extremely competitive, with selectors having to make many difficult decisions.
Selecting teams is always an extremely challenging process for our selectors and coaches, especially after building strong rapport with players during squad training. With limited spots available, we understand that disappointment is inevitable for some. Please remember that we have a clear process for seeking feedback – we ask that you respect this and avoid contacting coaches directly.
Tournament Dates
Southern Conference – Friday 13th February to Sunday 15th February 2026
Jubilee Park & Conolly Park, Wagga Wagga NSW (Home of Wagga Wagga Touch Association)
State Finals will be played on Sunday 1st of March at Tempe.

Requests for Individual Feedback
All requests for feedback regarding non-selection must be made in writing to: info@hillshornetstouch.com .
