The U17 team is made up of players from Wests, Gunners and Barambah and has been sponsored by Ken Mills Toyota and Subway.

The teams will leave for NSW next Sunday and will be camping at Copeton Dam during the carnival.

The Mini World Cup will get underway on September 28 and will run until October 2.

It features teams from across Australia, as well as Germany.
