Congratulations to Jake Hollman who represented the Australian U/19 Schoolboys Football team that toured Europe.
Across the 3 weeks the team played 9 games, 5 of which were internationals.
The results of the games are below:
- Australian Schoolboys vs Welsh schoolboys 1-0 win
- Australian Schoolboys vs Republic of Ireland schoolboys 0-3 loss
- Australian Schoolboys vs Northern Ireland schoolboys 1-1 draw
- Australian Schoolboys vs Scottish schoolboys 2-2 draw
- Australian Schoolboys vs English schoolboys 0-1 loss
Jake scored a goal in three of the 5 games. He was Australia’s top goal scorer, was “man of the match” in the Welsh game, was awarded “player of the tour”, and has had interest shown in him from 7 UK clubs.
A great experience for Jake, who got to visit some of the best football facilities in the world, meet some of the best youth coaches and play against some of the most talented youth footballers in the UK.
