The Australian Handball Federation [AHF] congratulates the ACT Handball Association for the success of the u16 National Championships held in Canberra during 9 – 11, July 2010.   The AHF also congratulates all the events’ participants, officials and supporters.

The AHF is pleased to note the enthusiastic participation of all the teams; however, there could only be one winner.  The AHF congratulates New South Wales for winning both the boys and the girls titles, for three consecutive times.  The NSW girls team had a draw with Queensland and a win against the Australian Capital Territory [ACT] team.  The NSW girls team subsequently won the final game which was against Queensland with the score being NSW 13(9) QLD 6(4).

The NSW boys team proved the strongest team and won all the games in the competition by a big margin.  The final game was between the NSW and ACT, with the score being NSW 30(16) ACT 12(6).

At the close of the competition, the team ranking is as follows:
