The FFA National Youth Championships for Boys reached its midway point yesterday, and the action took a step up on an eventful day.
In the opening two matches of the day tight games were contested as Northern NSW Metro edged past Queensland Metro 2-1 in the 13 Years on Field 1, and alongside them on Field 2 the 14 Years South Australia side downed NSW Metro 2-0.
Northern NSW Metro have moved to the top of Group A in the 14 Years after a win and a draw throughout the day, whilst the Under 13 Group A is extremely close with two teams on five points, two on four, and the remaining two on three.
Capital Football established themselves as front runners in both age groups’ Group B, winning 3-2 in the 13 Years and 3-1 in 14 Years to both move to nine points from a possible nine.
Queensland Country Under 14’s rounded out the day with a massive 8-0 win over Northern Territory in a dominant display.
Competition has been fierce over the opening three days, and this will improve over a highly anticipated final two days.
