The 2023 John Holland North West Championships take place this weekend with junior soccer teams from the Pilbara and Kimberley taking part in the three-day event in Newman.
Around 500 male and female players, coaches, officials, volunteers and parents from Newman, Karratha, Hedland, Tom Price and Broome associations will come together at Kangaroo Oval from Friday night to Sunday lunchtime.
The Championships will open at 6pm at the Fortescue Avenue venue on Friday, with the opening game between Newman and Tom Price U13s boys straight after. This will be followed by a senior men’s exhibition game between Newman and a Mixed Associations side.
Saturday will see a full day of football from 8am to 8.30pm, with the trophy and medal presentations taking place on Sunday morning from 9am to midday.
Football West General Manager - Football Perry Ielati said: “It is always great when young regional talent gets the opportunity to compete at events such as Country Week in Perth, but it’s even more exciting when we see them in their own regions.
“Football West would like to thank our name sponsor John Holland for their generous support of the North West Championships, and the Newman Junior Soccer Association for stepping in to host the event.”
