Day one of the 2021 NSW Senior League State Champs started under a blanket fog and some concern over start times after unexpected storms over the greater Sydney basin last night.

The BVM team worked their magic (with the help of a couple of bags of magic diamond dry dust!!) and all games got underway as scheduled.

8 games were played today over the 3 diamonds at Blacktown International Sports Park with teams from all over NSW.
