Oliver competes in national win
Oliver Hicken of Empire Bay was one of only two Central Coast boys to compete at the National Futsal Championships this month as part of the Under-12s NSW Futsal Representative team.
Oliver and his team competed against state teams from across Australia and New Zealand.
After four days of fast action games in over 45 degree temperatures, the team beat NSW City North 5-2 in the grand final to become the Australian Futsal Association National Champions.
An offshoot of football, Futsal is a fast indoor game played with a heavier ball and is designed to improve technique and skill.
