In fact in each of their eight matches – against much larger associations – the contest was a nail-biter.
With a win against St George, a draw with Parramatta and narrow defeats of just one point against several city teams, coaches Chris Trisley and Ray Fitzgerald could not have asked for more from their team and were thrilled with the way they pulled together and played for each other.
The tournament will prove a fantastic confidence builder for many of the younger players.

As a squad, the Macksville Under 20s proved to themselves that they are highly competitive and can go the distance against any team in the State.
These boys should be extremely proud of their efforts and the old adage ‘a champion team’ certainly applies to this outstanding group of young men.
Meanwhile, the Junior State Cup will be held from Friday to Sunday, February 16-18, at the Port Macquarie Regional Stadium, Boundary St.
NSW Touch will hold 2 Elite Courses and 1 Bridging Course in 2018. For details, see www.nswtouch.com.au
