International football success for Bluestone student

Ian Poulter —

Hayden travelled to Australia with the Aoraki Academy Under 11 football team to compete in the Sydney International Cup. Guess who won the tournament?

Hayden's team went through the tournament undefeated with only two goals conceded against them! In the final they played Magic United Gold Coast, an extremely well drilled and favoured team complete with their professional coach. With strong local and tournament support getting in behind our boys, Aoraki upset all expectations to delight the crowd with a well earned 2-1 victory. Hayden scored one of his teams two goals in this final. What a huge achievement!
