After two missed championships in 2020 and 2021, our Victorian Under-16 teams are set to return in 2022!
Our four teams will head to Perth, Western Australia from Sunday 3 July – Sunday, 10 July for the championships, as they return to Warwick Stadium for the first time since 2017.
Our Victorian Under-16 teams excelled at the last Australian Junior Championships they were able to participate in back in 2019, with both Metropolitan teams winning gold while our Country Men (silver) and Country Women (bronze) also made the podium.
