SA Country would like to thank all of the participating players, coaches, managers, referees and score bench officials for their support of the U12 & U16 Junior Country Championships held in Adelaide on 21^st and 22^nd March 2015.

In particular, we would be lost without the efforts of Beth Serle, Sharon Venn, Graham Catto, Bert & Suzanne Bargeus, John Spooner, Jen Dorrell, Michael Rogers and Jamie Petty who managed venues for the weekend as well as the assistance provided to them by a great number of volunteers throughout the weekend.

The work in preparation for the weekend takes several weeks and Beth Serle, Sharon Venn and Jen Dorrell are thanked and congratulated on their outstanding work in all areas.

We would also like to acknowledge the support of our sponsors; City Holden, Sports Centre and Spalding. Their support allows us to keep nomination fees to a minimum and improves the quality of the event.

Thank you also to Forestville, Sturt, Southern Tigers, South Adelaide and West Adelaide clubs for their support through provision of canteen and barbecue facilities at the venues and to Sports Medicine Australia for the Sports Trainers.

Lastly, most importantly, thank you to the Associations and all families for their support of the event.
