Elite Youth Performance Manager, Damian Karauna, commented:

“It’s a great effort from this group of boys to get to the final, and Wednesday will see them going for the title. We’ve got a proud record at this age-grade, having appeared in, and won, four finals out of the previous seven, so they know they have a lot to live up to.

“I’m sure they will thrive on the challenge. Their attitude has been good, they’ve worked hard in training ahead of the game and I’ve no doubt they will do the region proud.”
