Hi All,

nz > aus 5-2 5-1 3/4-1

games could have gone either way, nz's superior fitness got them over the line in the 2nd half

The games were quite close , but made difficult as the "walls" were chains that were for the most part unsecured but both teams had a great time.
Thanks to the singapore guys for all thier time and effort in setting up the pools for us.

just posted the pics on facebook view my other post on this website to find the links

those consistent scorelines dont really sound like they could have gone either way, to be fair.

but good that the games were reasonably close, hopefully will have helped both teams a lot.

the half time score for each game were about 2-1 each time liam, but after that it tended to blow out

i guess we both agree that the score doesn't count till the end of the game. pity we didn't get our act together or we could have had a friendly against you guys the first day you arrived, would have been good.

It wasnt incredibly close as suggested
The narrowness of the pool didnt help our formation

*it was more narrow than worlds

Hey Peeps...

Unlucky Oz u/19's for not been able to make it to Worlds...
Well done to all to at least getting the yougnsters to have a go at each other though!!!
