NTBA at the 2026 U19 National Championships

Recently, the NTBA U19 team competed at the 2026 Australian U19 National Championships in Melbourne, held from 5-11 July.

Representing the Northern Territory were:

Matthew Kollokkambi
Olivia Joseph
Bishwesh Puri
Jemma Stark

To complete our team, we were grateful for the support of Victorian players:

Ella Sie
Lewis Yu
Chloe Yung
Deqi Wang

A big thank you to Coach Dina Pawero and Team Manager John Stark for their guidance and support throughout the tournament.

Congratulations also to Noah Joseph, who represented Tasmania at the U15 National Championships.

Our team finished 8th out of 9 in the team event, recording a great win over the ACT.

All players also competed in the individual events, with some fantastic results:

Olivia Joseph won the Consolation Girls Singles, with Jemma Stark finishing runner-up.
Olivia Joseph and Jemma Stark won the Consolation Girls Doubles.

The photos capture our NT and Victorian players throughout both the team and individual competitions.

Most importantly, every player rose to the challenge, gained valuable experience, and represented the Northern Territory with pride, determination and a positive attitude. They learned a great deal, supported one another and, most importantly, had a fantastic week of badminton.

Congratulations to everyone involved, and thank you to our players, coach, manager and supporters for making the championships such a memorable experience.
