Youth Men (White)
The Youth Men (white) team was a mixture of U17s and U16s and came together to be a competitive team causing all other teams in the youth men’s competition some concern. They were certainly no easy beats and aside from defeating Victoria 4-1, held their own against all comers going down by narrow margins to NSW Lightning (5-3), NSW Thunder (3-1), Victoria U23s (2-1), and Boomers Blue (6-4).
This was a remarkable set of results given the short amount of training time together and the fact that half the team was eligible to play in the under 16s.
Even up until the final match of the round (against Boomerangs Blue) the Whites were in contention for a finals position. However, the Blue team were also on the look out for a win, wanting to end the preliminary round in top spot in their endeavours to secure an easier semi-final.
The team was excellently coached by Ben Pagett with able assistance from Jason O’Dwyer
