Day 6 first day of round 2

NZ played India and won with a convincing 13 - 4 with John Bardo the captian standing down with injury and Rob Vazey out also the team made a convincing win over the young Indian team. Every player that took the floor scored, the team are playing Israel tomorrow in the next game. It was a good opportunity for the coach to start the game with the young new players in the team. Unfortunately there were some moments that lapsed letting India score 4 goals.

We are still waiting for the NZ to have a complete game and for the team to be at there best. with Rob Vazey and John Bardo back tomorrow and Rohan Singh 100 % we are ready for action. Israel will definately be up against a full strength team.

The team is heading off now to watch the match Australia vs USA. Other matches today were Macau vs Holland with Holland winning 10 - 3, Japan played Israel and the final score was 5 - 3. Japan are looking very strong even though they lost as they have spent two months training in Spain/ Portugal. It shows that the group A was the strongest group as the A group teams start playing the B group teams.

Team India

Isaac Fraser has scored his first international goal today against India and the team congradulates Isaac on this acheivement.

Australia vs USA

Australia had a bad start vs USA with a goal being scored in the opening minutes and another goal not long after, both goals were unfortunate as one was a own goal and the other was a poor attempt. The team came back strong and won the second half 3 - 1 although the USA had already made there mark on the game beating Australia 7 - 3. If the Aussies had kept them out in the first half like they had played in previous games they could have beaten the 2nd seeded team.

Glenn Cox the captain scored 2 of the three goals in the secon half with one of them being such a great goal he also displayed a breakdancing back spin that was excecuted with top spin and finishing. This was great for the crowd, good stuff Glenn. The other team members all played weel and should be proud of there efforts. Next Australia will be playing Macau and they should be up for a win. Good Luck...
