Liam Outtrim selected for NZSS U 19 Football tour to Australia.
Liam Outtrim, the 1st XI football goalie was selected last December in the NZSS U19 football team to tour Australia in July. Regional trials were held at Wellington College, before a wider group of 40 from around the country assembled in Cambridge in December after which the team was announced.
The team had a training camp in Cambridge during the 1st term holiday break and will assemble again in July for a pre-tour camp in Auckland.
In the meantime, Liam will continue to play both school and club games.
After crossing the Tasman they will play the Australian and New South Wales Secondary Schools sides and exhibition matches against the Western Sydney Wanderers and Sydney FC academy teams.
Liam said this was his first time in a national team and he was looking forward to playing for the New Zealand Secondary Schools side.
"It was one of the best achievements of my life," he said.
"To represent my country is an awesome feeling."
Liam is looking forward to playing against high quality football teams like the Western Sydney Wanderers youth and the Aussie Secondary Schools team.
The players all aimed to play well, both individually and as a team, during the tour to get positive results and help their individual careers.
The PNBHS football community wishes Liam well for the tour.
