In April the team left to tour New Zealand for two weeks starting in Wellington then onto Napier, Rotorua and finishing up in Auckland.
The quality of hockey played was outstanding and saw Australia finish with 5 wins, 2 losses and a draw.
At the conclusion of the tour Justin was voted by his peers on presentation night the "Most Valuable Player" for the Australian team. Quite an achievement for a young player.
