For 13 long years, the Hunter Western Hornets have waited for their time and now, at long last, they have emerged as the Junior Regional Champions.
Forty-six teams from the six New South Wales Regions – Sydney Mets, Sydney Scorpions, Southern Rebels, West South West Suns, Hunter Western Hornets, and Northern Eagles, – travelled to Mudgee for the two-day event.
With perfect conditions in Mudgee, the Hornets showcased their speed, and agility over the weekend proving themselves to be a force to be reckoned with.
Our thanks go once again to the Mid-Western Regional Council and Glen Willow Sporting Complex, who and their amazing team displayed their facilities in top condition. To our Regions for their preparation and all our parents who allowed their children to train and travel for this event
