Noah Billingsley and Clayton Lewis have both just represented New Zealand in the Junior All Whites team at the 2015 FIFA U20 World Cup. It was a great experience for so many young aspiring OJFC players to watch Noah and Clayton play against Myanmar in Wellington in the U20 World cup match. Not only did New Zealand win that match 5-1 but both Noah and Clayton scored a goal a piece. The Junior All Whites qualified out of the pool games and into the last 16 for the first time ever.
Noah played for the ‘A Streamed’ team – Onslow Bandipurs from Grade 10 -14. Clayton Lewis played for the Grade 14 ‘A streamed’ team the Onslow Imrans.
OJFC are also very proud to announce that 2 Ex-Onslow girls Ella Wilson and Francesca Grange and current Onslow player Maggie Jenkins are all named in the NZ U17 Training camp in July 2015.
