Newcastle Jets Academy Take Top Prizes at Westfield National Youth Championships for Girls

Today, Friday 20 July, Newcastle Jets Academy squads were crowned Champions of both the 14 Years and 15 Years age groups at the 2018 Westfield National Youth Championships for Girls.

Topping Group A, the Jets’ squads were both too strong for the competing Federation teams, from across the country. The 14 Years winning on goal difference 4 ahead of their nearest rivals NSW Metro Blue and the 15 Years clearing NSW Metro Blue by 3 championship points.

NSW Metro White took out both age groups in Group B.

The week was deemed a great success with girls having the opportunity to compete against fellow footballers at the highest standard whilst having the opportunity to be reviewed by FFA and Federation Technical staff.
