I heard a rumour that FFA were going to change things around pertaining to National Championships about a month ago. Just saw this the Capital Football website so I thought i would post it.

Seems like the U/15 age group in the boys has become null and void at Nationals level and the U/13&14 age groups will now play at Coffs Harbour. So if you turn 15 you wont have a 15's Nationals tournament, but if you are lucky enough to be training with an NTC you will have the NTC Challenge which is for 15 and 16 year olds.

I think the reason for this is that there are a number of boys at NTC's in the 15 year old age group that would be playing in 2 tournaments. One being in Coffs harbour in October with a team that probably wouldn't have been able to prepare properly due to almost half the team training with their state NTC's. The other being in Canberra (AIS) in December with a team that has been prepared specifically for this tournament.

And I was so looking forward to going back to Coffs next year. ;) ;)

Absolutely,,,, They came from 1 single draw at the U/13 nationals to 3 wins 1 loss and 1 draw at the U/14 nationals. Although I must say it was in group B. In saying that they were in group B does not mean that all the teams in that group were weaker that the group A teams.
IMO the top 3 teams in group B could have mixed it with any of the group A teams. Those teams being NSW Country, Vic Country and ACT.





That's great...well done to the boys!!
