Today (22 January 2012) sees the conclusion of the Under 20’s National Championships at the SA Aquatic and Leisure Centre, where two of our players Alex Procter and Sam Huisintveld have been in action. The competition was played between state teams from South Australia, New South Wales, Western Australia, Victoria, Queensland and New Zealand (in the womens comp) and show cased the countries U20’s talent. It was SA’s womens team that competed to a much higher standard than previous years securing a very comfortable 5th place. A position that could have been even higher had the team not narrowly missed out on a semi final spot to NSW Waratahs through a complicated “count back” system. SA and the Waratahs finished on the same points only to see the Waratahs claim the 4th spot. The SA men finished in 6th place having started their campaign very brightly.
Well done to Alex and Sam and all the volunteers that helped out over the week from a very proud Eastern Saints club.
