Juniors Celebrated at Bocce Open

An update from Mario De Marco, secretary Newmarket Bocce Club

The Australian Junior Open was held at Redlands Bocce Club on 20/21st May. The participating States. QLD NSW, VIC and ACT, competed under three categories; Under 15, Under 18 and Under 23. I was privileged to be a referee. It involved long hours but I had the best view. These young athletes are amazing. They are up and coming champions in this sport, so watch this space. QLD did not take top honours, but did extremely well. Parents, coaches and spectators should be very proud. Under 15 QLD representative Samuel was runner up in the Singles. The Double winners Under 18 were Nina and Chiara and runner ups in the rapid throw were again Nina and Chiara. Samuel from QLD had a special acknowledgement for exemplary on-court behaviour and sportsmanship.
