Juniors came from Armidale City, Armidale Ex Services, Guyra and Glen Innes.

Two local juniors took part, Jason Beattie was narrowly beaten in his first match but played well.

Nick Ellem on the other hand won both his matches to reach the final which was played on Sunday morning.

Ellem was up against Brayden Sole from Guyra, who is currently in the NSW junior squad.

In a final that officials rated very highly, Ellem went down 31 shots to 22.

Both Beattie and Ellem are improving with each competition and have put their names forward for the upcoming pennant sides, which will be selected this week.
