Since the majority of these players used to compete against each other at the local level, this group of boys showed a team harmony that many of their competitors would not match. With superstar goalkeeper Gaurav Ghai’s impressive performances and strong build, this team will be looking to carry the ball from its end and deliver it to top scorer strikers Justin Mann and Josiah Campbell to finish it off. Be prepared for this team to make a big surprise as one of the underdogs to go to the Nationals.

With the under-16s girls having to wait another week to start their tournament, it just means they have more time to prepare to take on the country’s major counties. This team is young, fast, and ready to prove they won’t mess with it. With so many options in the net and midfield, this team should have no problem spinning the team to stay fresh in the tournament.
