Burnett Juniors performed quite well over the week with some great results. U18 Open Fours – Phoebe Russell and Christian McLellan reached the Bronze Medal playoff only to go down 22-20. U15 Open Pairs: Jamieson Morgan (Burnett) teamed with Latrell Lawton (Charleville) to win the Gold medal by defeating Cooper Sutton (Pialba) and Bryce Jarrett (Pialba) 15-12 in the Final. Congratulation Jamieson! In the same event Phoebie Russell claimed the Bronze Medal by teaming up with Mia Haylock (Roma) by winning their match 16-15. Well done, Phoebie!
