Coach Yuli brings back the Under 17s bronze medal


Dear readers



Yuli with the Under 17s WA State team 2014 that won Bronze after 10 years


Coach Yuli has brought back the bronze medal for the Under 17s Team event that took place in New Zealand in April 2014.



The team entered the lion's den and faced the biggest number of NZ teams. They survived and brought back the bronze medal for the team event.



The last time WA won a medal in the Under 17s team was in 2004. It has been a long drought that has been broken with Yuli as the coach and Jazton Tan as assistant coach.



Kay Terry was the Manager and Annie the Umpire. I was the mere chaperone for the team.



To read about their journey have a look at the WA Under 17s blog page.
