Both teams played excellent and their training and preparation is on track to perform at their best in the event in July.

Josh Boileau was named captain of the A team and Michael Hennessy was named the captain of the B team and both players hope their team can win the event. PJ was impressed with the player’s attitudes and hard work they done in the first week.

The development of this team is very important to me as the national coach to help bring players through to the home international teams of the future.
