U14 NATIONALS | BRONZE MEDALISTS
What a journey for our Hornets U14 Boys! After a tough opening loss to their eventual bronze medal opponents, our boys regrouped, refocused, and set their sights high. They stormed through the rest of pool play, finishing 2nd and advancing to the Championship Division, placing them among the top 12 teams in the country.
From there, the competition only intensified. They went toe-to-toe with the eventual silver medallists, held their nerve through pressure moments, and pushed their way into the quarter finals, where a gritty 5-point victory solidified their place in the top four in Australia.
A semi-final battle with the gold medallists didn’t go our way — but true Hornets never back down. The boys came out with fire and purpose in the bronze medal match against Dandenong Rangers, dominating from start to finish to claim an incredible bronze medal finish! 🥉
This team played with heart, pride, and the relentless energy that defines what it means to bleed green. 💚 Their resilience, teamwork, and belief in each other have made our entire Hornets community proud.
And to our families, friends, and fans, you were the #1 support crew all week long! Your cheers echoed through every screen, watching & supporting along at home.
Congratulations, Hornets! You’ve shown Australia what the Hills Hornets are all about. 💚🖤🐝

HILLS HORNETS | ANNUAL ASSOCIATION AWARDS
Every year a few members of the Hills Basketball community are acknowledged for their contribution through our Annual Association Awards.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank every member of the Hills Hornets Basketball Association for the constant support and hard work throughout the season. Our association is built from the ground up, starting with our hundreds of volunteers that dedicate large parts of their life to supporting our club.
The following individuals were recognised for their hard work throughout the 2025 season! 🐝❤️
WINTER 25 | WRAP-UP
Hills Basketball Association would like to congratulate all of our teams for their efforts in our Winter 2025 Competition. We would like to thank our players, coaches, referees, managers, staff and supporters for making this season our best yet!
This season was absolutely enormous, with around 850 teams, marking the largest local competition in NSW. Whilst larger associations in Victoria run their competitions across 20 courts on average, we do it using 8, and average 106 teams per court to their 48.
None of this would be possible without our wonderful community of referees, who facilitate around 350 games per week. Our officials are incredible and their development throughout the season has been exceptional. Similarly, a huge thank-you to our players for your continued support and participation.
We look forward to seeing you back on the court in the Summer 25/26 Competition.
