The girls entered the tournament with confidence as the Hunter regional winners and showcased their skills by defeating Mudgee 8-2 in the opening final.
However the Singleton Heights Public School line-up would be denied a ninth straight win when going down to Newport 10-3 in the semi-final.
"We had to beat seven teams in the Hunter and we've achieved that goal especially after defeating Hamilton South," coach Matt Orr told the Singleton Argus prior to the event.
"There were 798 teams just in the girls division alone and this team, as the winners of the Hunter division, have now made the final eight of their age group."
While the line-up was unable to claim the holy grail the Singleton Argus was able to publish their results staring from their opening round encounter with local rival King Street Public School.
