Tasmania’s Boys’ Under-16 and Under-15 teams participated in the national championships last week at Valentine Sports Park in Western Sydney.

Both teams were in Group B of the tournament.

The Under-16s finished fifth in their 7-team group, while the Under-15s finished sixth in their 7-team group.

Tasmania’s Daniel Arnaiz, who plays for South Hobart and has appeared in their NPL team, is sure to have attracted the attention of scouts as he netted 6 goals in 7 games.
