2023 State Youth Championships Update

Due to heavy rainfall the 2023 Community State Youth Championships were abandoned on Tuesday night.  

But Northern NSW Football is delighted to announce that the tournament will continue at Lake Macquarie Regional Football Facility on Thursday 13 and Friday 14 July.  

“It was very disappointing to have to end the Community State Youth Championships early due to the rain but we are thrilled that we will be able to continue the competition next week,” NNSWF General Manager Football Operations Liam Bentley said.  

“I would like to thank all of the member zones and clubs for their cooperation and patience.”
