For the first time in our club’s history, Mudgee have won a Junior State Cup title.
Mudgee’s under 12s girls won their best-of-three matches against Southern Conference champions Balmain, 2-1.
The Mudcrabs, who played in the corresponding series last year but fell short to Cronulla, did not want history repeating itself.
After game one it looked like it was as Balmain won the game 9-8 (four tries all but Balmain scored first).
However, games two and three went the way of Mudgee 7-4 (three tries to two) and 5-2 (two tries to one) respectively.
This year has been a huge success for these players and their coaching staff – Adam Perini, Mark Fitzgerald and Roy Prasad.
They have won:
• Don Green Championships in Mudgee
• Southern Suns Championships in Orange
• Peter Wilson Championships in Nelson Bay
• Northern Conference Junior State Cup in Dubbo
• State Cup Finals in Sydney
