Lennox Chell (Avoca) and Lily MacDonald (Freshwater) have taken out the top honours in the Under-18 division at the Woolworths NSW Junior State Titles pres. by Ocean and Earth at Sawtell Beach.  
 
Goofy-footed dynamo and former Under-14 NSW Champion Lennox Chell (Avoca) will be heading back to the Central Coast with his head held high after taking out the Under-18 Boys division. Chell put on a consistent display of backside rail-surfing in the final to finish with a respectable 12.93 two-wave heat total and claim the title ahead of fellow goofy-footer Jarvis Earle (Cronulla) who finished in the runner up spot.
 
Lily Macdonald (Freshwater) fought a tight battle with her fellow finalists to claim the coveted Under-18 Girls title. The exciting natural-footer picked off a handful of decent righthanders in the final to post a solid 13.93 two-wave heat total and get the win by a slim 0.2 margin ahead of fellow northern beaches surfer Cedar Leigh-Jones (Avalon) who was unable to muster up 5.94 wave score needed Macdonald’s lead.
