JOAS DE BLAAJ SHINES AT NZ U16 FOOTBALL TEAM TRIALS

JOAS DE BLAAJ SHINES AT NZ U16 FOOTBALL TEAM TRIALS

During the recent term break, NZ secondary schools held trials for the NZ U16 boys football team. Three OHS boys attended the U16 trial, which featured over 60 participants, making for very tough competition.

We’re pleased to announce that Joas de Blaaj was successful and has advanced to the next stage of the trial—a series of matches between a North team and a South team.

Huge congratulations to Joas! This achievement highlights the results of hard work, talent, and self-belief. We have a very talented group of footballers and look forward to seeing further representative honours in the future.
