Today I congratulate the hardworking teams of the Manly Warringah Basketball Association who have had a phenomenal season this year. First up, both their U14 girls and boys teams have qualified for the national championships in Perth which start on the 27th September later this month. These players, alongside their families and coaches, have been working tirelessly not just on the court but off it too, fundraising hard to make sure they get to show off their skills on the national stage. But wait, there's more! The Association also has 7 teams qualifying for the 2025 Waratah Junior Premier League & Under 12 Championships happening this August. Special congratulations goes to the U16 girls team who made it all the way to the grand final. What an amazing achievement! Since 1950, Manly Warringah Basketball has been a cornerstone of the Northern Beaches sporting scene, growing talent with a strong focus on skill and community spirit. Massive cheers to every player, coach, parent, and manager pouring heart, sweat, and soul into the game. Keep up the good work.
