The Beez U/12 girls took on their first representative competition on the weekend in Lismore.
Last Sunday was round one of the North Coast Shield junior competition, at Lismore, where U/12s and U/14s Beez teams played against Lismore, Grafton, Ballina and Yamba.
The U/14 girls, U/12 boys and U/14 boys all came home with three out of three wins for the day, throwing out a big challenge to their opponents in the coming rounds.
All the Beez players stepped up to play next-level basketball, with some tough choices and challenges overcome with great coaching and player ability
The Beez newly formed U/ 12 girls team were playing in their first representative competition but didn’t get a win on Sunday.
We’re sure their skills will soon catch up to their eager enthusiasm to play.
Last Saturday the Byron Beez ran an U/12s skills day at the Cavanbah Centre with over 30 children attending eager to learn some of the finer points and skills of the game.
Big thanks to coaches Alvin Caoyonan, Matt Barlow and Nash Campbell.
Three on three

A note from the editorial team

“The Echo has never underestimated the intelligence and passion of its readers. In a world of corporate banality and predictability, The Echo has worked hard for more than 30 years to help keep Byron and the north coast unique with quality local journalism and creative ideas. We think this area needs more voices, reasoned analysis and ideas than just those provided by News Corp, lifestyle mags, Facebook groups and corporate newsletters.
The Echo is one hundred per cent locally owned and one hundred per cent independent. As you have probably gathered from what is happening in the media industry, it is not cheap to produce a weekly newspaper and a daily online news service of any quality.
We have always relied entirely on advertising to fund our operations, but often loyal readers who value our local, independent journalism have asked how they could help ensure our survival.
Any support you can provide to The Echo will make an enormous difference. You can make a one-off contribution or a monthly one. With your help, we can continue to support a better informed local community and a healthier democracy for another 30 years.”
