The Smithtown Tigers had 15 players picked while the Kempsey Dragons had 11 juniors selected in the squads.
Four Smithtown juniors, Brooke Daniels, Breanca Martin, Lana Brenton and Skylee Devlin were picked into league tag representative sides.
Brooke, Breanca and Lana will take to the field for the Under-14s while Skylee will play for the Under-16s.
Brooke, who plays halfback, prides herself on being a leader and having a strong understanding of the game. The 14-year-old played four years of tackle rugby league and is in her first year of league tag.
Breanca, who fills the role of hooker, is a tremendous tagger and is often a threat to break the defensive line. The 14-year-old enjoys playing the sport as she can learn new skills and likes to meet new people and keep fit and healthy.
Lana, who plays centre, is a strong runner of the ball and is in her first year of league tag.
Skylee, who lines up at fullback, is a strong runner and tagger. The 15-year-old is in her first year for Smithtown but played the game a little bit at primary school and recently began playing at high school. Skylee enjoys playing alongside her mates and supporting her local club.
The Under-12s, Under-13s, league tag Under-14s and Under-16s juniors will be in action at Connell Park at Bellingen this Sunday May 26.
The Under-14s and Under-15s will take to the park closer to the Country Championships but the date is yet to be confirmed.
