ACT Juniors ready for the Nationals

ACT will be represented by three teams at this year's national junior championships, being held this weekend at Olympic Park in Sydney.

The girls will take part in the under 18 championships whilst the boys will feature in both, the under 21 and under 18 age groups. ACT's under 18 teams are predominantly made up of the successful under 16s teams that competed in Coffs Harbour last year.

Defending champions and hosts, NSW will feature, alongside Queensland, in all age groups.

From 9 to 11 July, Canberra will host the under 16 national championships at the Australian Institute of Sport.
