NSW have wrapped up the regular rounds at the National Championships in strong fashion, with both the 19U and 17U squads building momentum at the perfect time heading into finals.
The 19U squad have been the standout of the competition, finishing the preliminary rounds undefeated. They capped off a flawless run with another win today, continuing to combine composure, depth and adaptability to handle every challenge thrown their way. Whether it’s been absorbing early scoreboard pressure or closing out tight contests, they have consistently found another gear when it matters most, underlining their status as the team to beat.
While the results have been impressive, it’s been the collective contribution across the court that has set them apart. With all players stepping up in key moments, NSW’s ability to adjust combinations and maintain high standards has them well placed as they turn their focus to finals.
After two early losses, the 17U side have responded in outstanding fashion, going on to win every game since. The group has built confidence and cohesion with each performance, turning their campaign into one of resilience and momentum as they hit form at the perfect time. That progress continued today with another strong win, further highlighting their development across the week.
Strong defensive pressure and improved conversion in attack have been key factors in their rise, with combinations now clicking at both ends of the court. Their performances in the final rounds showcased a side playing with confidence, connection and belief — a dangerous prospect heading into finals.
