FFA National Youth Championships for Boys finishes on a high
Football NSW representatives completed a successful FFA National Youth Championships with both the Under 13s and 14s Football NSW Blue teams clinching the Member Federation National Championships.
The Under 13’s also saw Football NSW Blue star Morrie Kamara crowned ‘Player of the Tournament’ while Ivica Covic was awarded with the ‘Referee of the Tournament’ for that age group.
After a wonderful tournament, all players, coaches and officials made sure to finish their campaign on a high in their final matches before the Presentation where a player, goalkeeper and referee from each age group were awarded and commended as the best of the tournament.
Congratulations to every NSW representative and well done to our winners.
