Rising stars showcase their talents

BY ALEX TIGANI AND MEREDITH BLAIR

Floods and lockdowns are now a thing of the past in the Upper Hunter.

At least that seemed to be the case when viewing what appeared to be an increase in junior sports across the April school holiday period.

Here were some of action shots of our region’s next generation of sporting talents in action.

The crowds gathered around Singleton’s Pirtek Park on Sunday afternoon to witness a Halle Simone masterclass.

Merriwa Pony Club participants gathered in large numbers for a four-day school holiday clinic.

Harlan Duffy and Ryker Gillan had a ball at the Singleton Junior Rugby Union program on Friday night.

Ambrose academy tennis was a hit across the school holidays. A lot of students favourite and asked for multiple times throughout the day, skittles is a movement-based game where students have to dodge the ball.

The GWS Giants weren’t the only winners on Saturday. The Singleton Roosters’ Auskickers made their SCG debut before a crowd of 31,615 (in other words, two Singletons).

The Singleton contingent featured Charlie Oliver, Abigail Smalley, Ned Cann, Jude Cruickshanks and Phoenix Gavin.
