Junior Open National Championships 2013

Friday 12th – Sunday 14th of April saw 9 South Australian boys competing at the 2013 Junior Open at the Casa D’Abruzzo Club in Epping, Victoria. 2013 was the first year that the Bocce Federation of Australia had introduced an U14 division, which provided a lot of competition amongst South Australia and Victoria. Being the first year the U14s had participated, it was very impressive to see that 7 South Australian boys who have only been playing for 6 months were determined and focused on what they had to do; as well as the 4 Victorian boys who have only had a minimum of 5 training sessions. Their accuracy and skill over the course of the weekend showed they are dedicated to the sport and are enjoying their time.

With the 7 participants who competed in the U18/23 events, competition between the boys was fierce, as they have been playing against each other since the 2009 Junior Open.
