The older Sunraysia age group however eliminated the younger squad from the 14s competition in the semi-final 1-0, before going on to defeat Whyalla 2-1 in the final.

Similarly Sunraysia under 15 boys side had to move up to under 16 level and following to wins and two draws, amazingly finished in second place behind Adelaide Hills’ under 15s.

A 3-1 win over Whyalla was their top performance.

Sunraysia finished on top of their pool in the under 13 girls with three wins a massive 18 goals scored, however they went into overtime in their semi-final against Port Lincoln before claiming the 3-2 win.
