Three NSWIS hockey stars have helped the Australian men’s hockey team, the Kookaburras, have defeated Belgium 6-0 on the eve of their Champions Trophy campaign.
The Kookaburras display against Belgium was flawless as they went into the halftime break two goals up before slotting four more home in the second half, one to NSWIS athlete Jamie Dwyer.
The Kookaburras play Belgium again on Tuesday before heading to the Netherlands for the Champions Trophy where they will compete against the Netherlands, Argentina, Spain, Germany and Korea.
The NSWIS athletes in the Kookaburras team are Dwyer, Nathan Burgers and Eli Matheson.
