The three-day tournament in Wagga Wagga will boast 213 teams, ranging from U/10s through to U/18s. It follows last weekend's northern conference in Port Macquarie. The top four teams from each division in each conference will meet in a fortnight's time in Penrith for the State Finals.
Devils vice-president Tim Robinson said it was great for the club to field a team in every division at the event.
"It's been a number of years since our club has achieved that. We welcome the U/10s girls for the first time in a long time led by coach Aaron Beath," he said.
"Our aim is obviously to qualify as many teams for the State Finals, so top four will be everyone's goal."
Last Sunday, the Devils had a final club training day. The team captains were named along with two club captains, Corey Bamford and Mackenzie Ford.
"Corey and Mackenzie both played Open State Cup with the Devils in 2019, and their experience and leadership made them an easy choice as club captains this weekend," Robinson said.
