The under 12, under 13 and under 14 teams will make the journey north to Armidale where they will compete against country NSW’s best across the two-day tournament.
The competition marks the first taste of Country Championships for the under 12s, however a number of the boys had the opportunity to compete against the Sydney clubs as under 11s.
The side has been grouped with Central Coast and Central North.
The under 13 boys will attempt to defend the title they won in 2017 in Nowra. That under 12 team was a class above their rivals, moving through the tournament undefeated and picking up a number of comfortable wins over the likes of Hunter and Central Coast.
The under 14s will be out for revenge after they fell to Hunter in the final of last year’s tournament 33-7.
