Oliver had already been through a number of stages to get to state level including travelling to Lavington on April 4, where the Eastern and Western Riverina teams met for a day of intensive trials in the lead up to selection of the Riverina team.
Oliver worked incredibly hard throughout these trials with a commendable outcome.
Oliver has also had a well deserved selection into the Riverina boys’ cricket team.
His family and friends at Tocumwal Public School will be cheering him on as he represents his school and the Riverina region at the upcoming NSW PSSA State Championships.
Well done, Ollie!
