Our Belt Up teams Perth Wheelcats and Black Ducks were able to compete at separate National Championships in Qld. We continued to have a high number of representatives compete in Nationals colours, whilst we also had a high number of representatives attend Development camps and training sessions.

2023 Kevin Coombs Cup Silver Medal Winners Belt Up Black Ducks
It was another successful tournament for our Belt Up Black Ducks. Coming up against a very talented Victoria team. It was a tight and hard tussle until the end, but Victoria was too good and came away with the Gold.
Congratulations to our WA Black Ducks on their Silver medal for the tournament.
