Orange ball is played on a smaller court, giving younger children the chance to test their skills against kids from other towns.
In total, the tournament featured seven divisions: two orange ball divisions, several green ball divisions, and yellow divisions. We would like to thank all of our local juniors who took part—great work to everyone for having a go in such a friendly and encouraging environment.
We also extend our thanks to our major sponsors, Hinchinbrook Shire Council and Cheapa Auto Spares, as well as our court sponsors: Galipo’s, Icon, Tyrepower, Johnny’s Fish & Chips, Mitre Ten, Guido’s, Vella & Russo, SpinFX, Cellebration, Sports Power, Ingham Agencies, and Ingham Motorcycles and Mowers. We also appreciate donations from Devetti Mazda.
