After our initial competition in Mildura in 2018 of Veterans over 60’s with 6 teams participating from both SA & Victoria, we are ready to expand to create the perfect preseason Veterans Championships for Veterans teams from all over Australia.
More importantly it is an excellent opportunity for State selectors to get their state squads together as a warmup for the Nationals in November.
Willowfest will have competitions for the 3 age groups, over 50, 60 & 70’s with the Over 50’s playing over 3 days, while the 60 & 70’s playing 4 games over 5 days with the traditional rest day.
