Chloe Coe, Brodii Ingram, Chelsea Hindmarsh, Bronte Harris, Rhiannon Bradburn, Georgia White and Ryan Ingram will all represent the Northern Eagles against other regional teams from across the state.
Coe, Ingram, Hindmarsh, Harris and Bradburn will all play for the 18s girls while White will line up with the 16s girls and Ingram the 16s boys.
The Eagles sides were selected from selection days and the Junior State Cup Carnival and, since their selection, the seven have attended compulsory training camps in Coffs Harbour and Port Macquarie.
All have worn Eagles colours previously.
The five 18s girls were all part of the 18s side last year and will head to Penrith with high hopes after making it through to the semi-finals last year.
Ryan Ingram is also backing up after playing for the 16s boys last year.
White, meanwhile, will be stepping up from playing with the 14s two years ago.
The Eagles will play the five other competing teams – Sydney Scorpions, Sydney Rebels, Sydney Mets, Hunter Hornets and NSW Southern Suns – each once over Saturday and Sunday morning followed hopefully by finals.
They start around 11am on Sunday.
There is also the chance for higher honours, with the NSW U18s sides to play at the Nationals in September selected from the weekend, as well as NSW merit sides in the 14s and 16s.
