Give me the youth at 18 and I will give you a junior

1989 was a momentous year. The revolutions of 1989 exploded from Poland across eastern Europe to tear apart the Soviet Union, the European Community created the first fledgling ban on the use of chlorofluorocarbons, worked toward their elimination by the end of the century, Hulk Hogan defeated Randy Savage to become the WWF champion, Andrew Peacock wrested control of the opposition from John Howard, who sported a full head of hair, the ACT assembly sat for the firsts time, ushering in a new era of self government and around Australia beautiful children were born who would grow up to compete in Junior Nationals in 2008.

Yes, Australian Junior Nationals is on again. Sydney will host the tourney on the 11th and 12th of July, with four divisions competing, under 17 and under 19 open and womens. With any luck, Canberra will send a team in both under 19 divisions. The supercomputer here at the CUB secret underground facility is already calculating the feasibility of such teams and scanning the AFDA database for suitable players. The keen juniors of Jailbait, the ACT's last Junior Nats team have scattered across Australia and the world after completing their final years at high school and any teams that attend this year will have to come from the juniors buried amongst our local leagues.

If you are, or know anyone who is, an ultimate player in Canberra born in 1989 or later please contact us at the CUB secret underground facility and we'll pass your information on to the relevant parties. Remember, we were all young once, but only some of us had the chance to play ultimate. Here's your chance to help an ACT junior to smile.
