However, in 2021 due to COVID restrictions and limitations there will be no further progression following the All Schools Championships and Merit Teams will be announced (Open Boys & Girls only) to recognise the achievements of those outstanding players across the All Schools Championships. Due to the cancellation of the School Sport Australia Championships NSWCHS made a collective decision not to par- take in this years 16 & Under Tri-Series, however the Independent and Catholic Sectors decided to proceed and invited Westfields Sports High Schools to participate as an invitational team.
