The Youth Report – NSW Premier Youth League

There were some games left unplayed but they did not affect the final tables for the season and so there was no real need to overload an already congested period over the past couple of weeks.
This season has been extremely competitive and very entertaining for all concerned so congratulations go to all the teams because they have each made a contribution to the thrills, the spectacle and the overall quality of this season.
The Youth League Report will continue to provide reports throughout the finals series and then, in the week after the Grand Finals, we will look back on the season on a club-by-club and team-by-team basis.
