Junior Trans-Tasman Test Series Team Announcement

An exciting New Zealand team has been confirmed to compete in the Junior Trans-Tasman Test Series in December.

The team will play the Test Series from the 3rd-4th December, followed by the Oceania Junior Championship from the 5th-7th December. Games will be played at Devoy Squash & Fitness Centre (BOP). 

New Zealand had dominated the competition previously, bringing home five back-to-back titles until Australia won it last year. The long-lived rivalry between the two nations is sure to make for an interesting and competitive contest, as New Zealand looks to secure the title this time around.
