The NSW/ACT U16 Rams continued their unbeaten streak to claim the Division 2 title at the NAB U16 Championships at Blacktown.
The Rams played their final game of the carnival on Saturday, accounting for Tasmania by 29 points.
The last time the side won a division two title was back in 2002.
The squad opened their National Championship against Queensland last Sunday, getting a 21 point win against their northern rivals.
Jock Cornell was a stand-out up forward kicking five goals, while Captain Callum Mils and Jay O’Donogue were impressive.
The team backed up after a two day break against the Northern Territory, and showed their level of skill and determination to overcome the NT by 86 points.
In a physical encounter, the Northern Territory were unable to match the intensity of the Rams, who spent much of the early stages of the game camped inside their forward half.
Other highlights of the Carnival included Callum Mills being awarded with the Carbine Club Sports Scholarship at the Carbine Club AFL Luncheon. He also took home the best player award for the Division 2 competition, as well the most valuable player for the Rams.
AFL NSW/ACT would like to congratulate all players and staff involved on a successful National Championship.
