During the holidays, Tahanni Kaufusi and Halle Barrett represented the NSWCCC Team at the Australian Rugby League Championships in Coffs Harbour.
They kicked off the tournament with a strong 36–4 win over WA, followed by another solid performance, defeating ACT Girls 30–6 on Day Two. They then went on to beat NSW CIS 16-12. The team’s final game was against QRSS in the semi final. NSWCCC went down 14-8. The NSWCCC team finished 3rd overall.
