I am raising funds to assist myself and my team to participate in the Borneo Football Cup, a youth tournament held in East Malaysia in September this year. Our team consists of players from Moura, Biloela and Gladstone and we will also meet up with some local Borneo boys at the tournament to play with us on our Striker team. I love football, it is a great challenge, and you get to meet lots of wonderful people along the way. I am committed to improving my skills and I travel A LOT to get to my training sessions! My biggest trip each week is travelling to Gladstone (a 5hr return trip) to train with the FQ Central QLD team. Some of my teammates from this team will also join me in Borneo.

My local team is the Moura Rangers and I have a teammate from the Rangers joining me in Borneo. We spend hours practicing during our lunch times at school and after school. We also travel to Biloela, an hour away, for weekly training with the Striker Academy to improve our skills. There will also be some players from the Striker Academy joining us. I am really looking forward to our team joining together and working as a cohesive unit in Borneo.

I hope to inspire other young players from my home town and regional and rural Australia to follow their dreams and to realise that being a 'country kid' doesn't stop you from realising your dreams.
