Under-16s defeat Berkeley Vale

A Peninsula Under-16 Boys' team has defeated Berkeley Vale in the grand final of the Central Coast Junior Touch Championships at Bateau Bay on Sunday, December 16.

The Peninsula Junior Touch Club has participated in the competition for seven years and this year nine teams competed.

Peninsula coordinator Ms Maxine South said the Peninsula had "greatly improved" its ranking this year.

"Teams from Sydney, Newcastle and the Upper Hunter region were also present this year which made the weekend very competitive," said Ms South.

"We had both boys' and girls' teams from Under-10s to Under-18s play which was excellent match practice leading up to the Peter Wilson Memorial Championships (Regionals) in Nelson Bay and Junior State Cup which will take place in Port Macquarie in February.

"All teams performed well under the hot conditions with two reaching the semi-finals.

"Overall it was a very successful weekend for all players, coaches and parents," said Ms South.
