The club is well-represented across all age groups – U12’s, U13’s, U14’s, U15’s, U16’s – after impressing at recent trials.
Junior rep co-ordinator Jason Barry says Singleton continues to produce talented players, and this season we have certainly made our mark not only in Hunter Valley, but also Bradman and Kookaburra cup trials.
“This year in the Kookaburra cup trials we have Beau Parnell, Tom Druery and Mick Taylor, and in the Bradman cup, Jack Turner and Isaac Barry,” he explains.
“I am very proud of all the players that have been selected to represent Hunter Valley and those that will trial for the next level.”
The Kookaburra Cup is an annual U14’s competition between each country zone across the state: North Coastal, Central Northern, Western, Newcastle, Central Coast, Illawarra, Riverina and Southern.
Whereas, the Bradman Cup in the Under 16 version.
