Following a gruelling selection process the NSW sides to tackle this year’s Australian Schools Championship, at Riverview from July 9-13, were announced on Saturday afternoon.

After dominating the trials CAS and GPS stars headline the NSW I and II outfits, which will be gunning to repeat last year’s championship effort, in which they faced off in an all-NSW decider.

NSW I went on to win that grand final and they’ll kick-off their title defence against Queensland II on Tuesday, July 9. NSW II will face Queensland’s top side in their championship-opener.
