After months of preparation, the netballers will travel to the Penrith District Netball Association in Sydney for the 2019 HART Junior State Titles.
Three age divisions, under-12s, under-13s and under-14s will battle it out it out on the court over three days of competition from Saturday, July 6 through to Monday, July 9.
The Scone and District Netball Association were excited to announce they are entering teams in all three age divisions to play in Division 3.
President Natalie Smith said the club is very excited to have all three teams competing at the same venue.
"The sportsmanship will be high and all of the player's hard work at training over the last six months will be rewarded," she said.
Scone will face some tough competition, against the likes of Ballina, Brunswick Byron, Casino, Cowra & District, Great Lakes, Grafton, Griffith, Leeton, Lismore & District, Manning Valley, Mudgee, Muswellbrook, Nambucca Valley, Port Stephens, Singleton, Southern Highlands, Tamworth, Westlakes District, Wollondilly, Eurobodalla, Forbes, Kiama and Nelson Bay.
The following Scone representative teams will compete at the 2019 Junior State Titles:
Scone 12s: Caitlin Atkinson, Sophie Hedley, Summer Dowell, Hallee Frost, Makenzi Nelson, Emily Taylor, Milly McCrae, Sophie Park, Sophia Gore, Isabella Zizza.
Scone 13s : Eva Holden, Aleesha Harrington, Eliza Duggan, Lily Adams, Lizzie Young, Alex Brooks, Legacy Lewis, Abbey Geary, Sarah Shankley, T'Leah Gilbert.
Scone 14s: Molly Duffy, Laura Keegan, Taylah Warren, Brenna Crompton, Abbey Cheshire, Jasmine Backhouse, Ava Buffier, Caitlin Coady, Jordan Evans, Amelia Fraser.
Historically known as the State Age Championships, 2019 saw a change to the competition, which saw the creation of the Junior State Titles and Senior State Titles.
The change was required due to an increase in the size of the event in recent years, creating logistical and financial issues for associations and their members.
The event is a flagship event within the NNSW talent pathway.
