CONGRATULATIONS TO THE NSW BLUES

U/12 AND U/18 BOYS TEAMS

NATIONAL CHAMPIONS 2011

NSW Blues U/12 Boys and NSW Blues U/18 Boys led a very successful campaign at the Junior National Championships in Melbourne winning their respective Grand Finals convincingly.

Both teams lost games during the rounds and finished second on the ladder, but were able to put runs on the board at the business end of the week.

The U/18 Boys are coached by Terry Small, and the team has three players who have made it into the Australian U/19 squad - Matthew Foster, Wayne Bull and Jacob Apicella. Well done, a great team effort. Josh Hilder was named player of the Grand Final.

The U/12 Boys are coached by Peter Curle, and have been training together for around 6 months, training every week. The youngest player in the team is only 10 years old, and the commitment shown by the boys plus their parents is to be commended. Anthony Johnston was named Player of the Series and was also one of three NSW Blues players named in the Australian AllStars team. Taylor Davies was named Player of the Grand Final as well as being named in the Australian AllStars team, and Bailey Dickinson has now achieved Australian selection for the second year in a row.

The NSW Blues U/14 Boys and U/18 Girls teams made it to the finals series also, and the whole NSW Blues squad worked hard for their State and made everyone proud. Jordan Browne from the NSW Blues U/14 team and Brendan Cleaver from the NSW Blues U/16 team were named in the Australian AllStar teams for their respective divisions.

The NSW Cyclones had an outstanding week, with the U/12 Boys finishing third after the rounds and the U/16 Boys also finishing third. The U/16 Boys lost the prelim final by a mere 14 runs and the U/12 Boys lost their prelim final to the NSW Blues. This would have been the first NSW Cyclones team to contest a Grand Final, and in the U/12's would have been the first NSW -v- NSW GF. Jacob Hill from the U/16 Boys team and Wade Burrows from the U/12 Boys were named in the Australian Allstars teams.
