Under 14’s Men and Under 16’swin NJL Titles.

Ballina Northern Junior League travelled to Tamworth this weekend with FOUR teams completing in the finals weekend. U12, U14, U16 and U18 men teams all finished in the top four teams in their division. A truly brilliant effort by all teams involved for an association the only operates from a one court high school gym.  Fantastic effort and congregation to all players who completed.  Well Done Click Here For Photos.

If you are interested in playing in the Odd Age Carnivals for 2011 please make sure you let someone at the stadium know of your intentions. Try outs and training will begin for these carnivals on the week commencing the 15^th August.  Grafton will be held on 26^th and 27^th November and Coffs Harbour has not yet set dates, this carnival is usually held first or second weekend of December.

The Odd Age carnival, assist in the setting up a basis for NJL representative teams for the 2012 season and will give an excellent indication as to which division Ballina Association will commit to.  There will be a sheet at the canteen for you to add your name to the team tryout list and you will have to have your parent’s permission and they will have to sign on your behalf.

 We have this year had great managers for all teams and if you are interested in taking on any position please indicate your interest to Steve McCarthy at the desk on Tuesday afternoons.
