Hey guys,

Our first two games for the consolation tournament is out.
We have drawn Ireland (10th March) and Island (16th March).

The squad will be picked for the season this weekend and BB-Mails will be sent to the managers of these players so that they are aware of the expectations of them this season.

Cheers.

Greetings everyone,

The initial 10-man squad to start our campaign in the consolation tournament against Ireland has been selected. It includes old faces, as well as a few new faces. Our squad is well balanced and should produce some entertainment for you all throughout the season.

Congratulation BB-Mails will be sent out to these managers in a bid to have some communication and interaction between managers and the U21 team this season. I will be looking into making an offsite for the team as a way to communicate with you guys about tactics and training.

Finally, I would like to introduce to you the captain and vice captain of the U21 team for this season:
Captian: Josh Cockayne.
Vice captain: Neerim Larbi.
Both players were part of the team last season and will continue to serve their time as leaders of the team.

I hope that you will interact with the team via the offsite that I am looking into making and I hope that we will produce some results for you this season.

Cheers.

Game 1: vs Ireland - WIN: 50 - 0

A default win against Ireland.

Update(s):
- Offsite will not be created due to low numbers of New Zealand players and therefore, there would be a lack of communication on the forum than there would be otherwise if there were more users.

Game 5: vs Bosnia and Herzegovina - LOSS: 111 - 62

Sljedeca utakmica je protiv Novog Zelanda koji ima par solidnih igraca ali svakaako napadamo razliku 50+.

Translated: The next game is against New Zealand, which has a couple of solid players but we are definitely attacking the 50+ difference.

They wanted to win by 50 by came up short by 1 point. A 49 point domination from the Bosnians mean that they are the first team to score 100 points or more in a competitive game against us this season.

MVPs:
1. Neerim Larbi
2. Waylon Timu
3. Daniel Dyhouse

Next Game:
Vs Thailand on the 13th of April.

Game 8: vs Denmark - LOSS: 107 - 83

We gave Denmark everything we had, including a correct GDP guess and a CT. Although we lost the game, I'm proud of the boys because we only lost by 24 points to a top 30 worldwide team indicating that our program is on the rise.

MVPs:
1. Josh Cockayne
2. Neerim Larbi
3. George Jabano

Next Game:
vs TBC soon.

This brings us to the end of the competitive season. We will still have a number of scrimmages left to play, where you will see plenty of young and fresh faces hitting the floor for their nation. You already saw one tonight - George Jabano who played exceptionally well. End of season reviews, including MVP, etc will be released shortly.

It's been a great season and I'd like to thank all managers who have supported me and the NZ U21 team this season. There is still more greatness that will come with time, as the program has only started.

Scrimmage: vs Scotland - LOSS: 108 - 90

We gave our U20's a run with 8 participating in the game along with our season 49 captains (Josh Cockayne and Neerim Larbi) giving their leadership from the bench and in the locker room. Although it wasn't enough to get us the win (mainly due to inexperience), the boys have learnt how to gel together for the upcoming season.

MVPs: (NOTE: This will not count for the season MVP voting)
1. John Maurice
2. Dwayne O'Meley
3. Xi Yonghao

Next Game:
vs TBC soon.
