Newman win two premierships at North West Tee-Ball Championships

Newman were the stars of the show with two grand final victories at the North West Tee-Ball Championships at Marie Marland Reserve over the weekend. Tom Price also travelled to Hedland for the three-day carnival which saw divisions of juniors, intermediates and seniors all play six games, before a finals series decided the winner. Newman were clear favourites as they headed into the intermediates grand final, having only lost one game out of six. It was a tight, back and forth contest but Newman narrowly notched out a 10-8 victory over Tom Price to take home the championship. The seniors division group stage was even over the weekend as Newman lead with four wins, only one ahead of Hedland. When it came to the grand final, Newman showed their class in a comprehensive win against Hedland 20-8, to complete the double. Tom Price won 4 matches and topped the group as they entered the junior grand final against Newman. They spoiled Newman’s perfect run and played a dominant junior grand final, dismantling Newman 23-12 to lift the cup. The last North West Tee-Ball Championships in 2019 were held in Paraburdoo, where Wickham took out the juniors, Hedland won the intermediates and Tom Price claimed the seniors cup.
