Sutherland returns from US<br />
for Junior All Whites trial<br />
• By Gordon Findlater<br />
FORMER Burnside High<br />
student Joash Sutherland<br />
returned home from the<br />
United States last month to<br />
push his case for a spot in the<br />
All Whites under-20 World<br />
Cup squad.<br />
Sutherland, 19, played for<br />
both Burnside and FC Twenty<br />
before leaving for Xavier University<br />
in Cincinnati, Ohio, on<br />
a scholarship midway through<br />
2015.<br />
The midfielder was home<br />
over the Christmas period to<br />
attend a New Zealand under-20<br />
camp in Auckland.<br />
He was the only Christchurch<br />
player at January’s fourday<br />
Junior All Whites camp.<br />
He has his eyes set on this<br />
year’s FIFA under-20 World<br />
Cup in South Korea, which will<br />
take place between May 20 and<br />
June 11.<br />
“It was a really good experience<br />
for me and great to see<br />
a lot of the lads there that I<br />
haven’t seen in a while. All in<br />
all, I think I played well and<br />
worked hard. Obviously there<br />
are a great group of boys there<br />
so it’s going to be a competitive<br />
selection to pick from,” said<br />
Sutherland.<br />
“I’m trying to stay reasonably<br />
calm about the whole process.<br />
Obviously to wear the fern<br />
is something I’ve dreamed<br />
for since I was little and has<br />
definitely been one of my many<br />
goals. I definitely think I’m capable<br />
and at the standard to be<br />
a part of the group, but it’s just<br />
a matter of what the coaches<br />
are looking for at the end of the<br />
day.”<br />
He has now returned to<br />
Xavier University ahead of its<br />
spring season, which begins in<br />
March. After nearly two years<br />
at college, Sutherland is becoming<br />
acclimatised to the student<br />
athlete environment.<br />
“I’ve really enjoyed being<br />
over here, meeting people and<br />
studying. Being able to play<br />
football every day at a good<br />
level is something I am really<br />
grateful for. Being a student<br />
athlete is definitely challenging.<br />
From having class in the morning<br />
to going straight to training<br />
for three hours and then to<br />
have one or two more classes in<br />
the afternoon is really full on,”<br />
said Sutherland.<br />
Life during the season is even<br />
busier with the team often travelling<br />
home from away games<br />
on sleeping busses which travel<br />
through the night.<br />
Sutherland will find out<br />
closer to May if he has made<br />
the Junior All Whites World<br />
Cup squad.<br />
SPORTS<br />
HOMECOMING: Joash Sutherland made the trip home<br />
from Xavier University, Ohio, to take part in a four-day<br />
Junior All Whites training camp. <br />
