NIHS would like to celebrate the achievement of Year 9 student Yahya who recently represented South Australia at the emerging Socceroos Tournament held Melbourne.
Competing against some of the best young players from across Australia, Yahya and the South Australian team performed strongly, highlighted by impressive group stage victories over Northern NSW and the Northern Territory to progress through to the quarter finals.
After a competitive finals series, South Australia finished 8th (of 16) overall in the national tournament an excellent achievement at such a high level of competition. Yahya also made a valuable contribution throughout the event, playing a key role in 6 matches whilst registering a goal.
We are very proud of Yahya’s dedication, effort and sportsmanship, and congratulate him on representing both South Australia and Norwood International High School with pride.
We look forward to following Yahya’s future soccer successes.
