The U8 Royal City Hawks delivered a fantastic performance throughout the tournament, ultimately earning the Silver Medal in a hard-fought BB Championship game. Their effort, teamwork, and sportsmanship were on full display, capping off a memorable run for the young athletes.
Meanwhile, the U10 Hawks soared to the top, capturing the Gold Medal in their BB Championship final. The team’s energy, resilience, and sharp play earned them top honours and a well-deserved place on the podium.
