    Two satisfying victories, and more young players unearthed in the All Whites' first two internationals in two years

    Two satisfying victories, and more young players unearthed in the All Whites' first two internationals in two years


    Striker Joey Champness impressed on debut in this morning's 1-nil win over Bahrain, while Niko Kirwan headed in the late winner, in just his second international.

    It followed Sunday's victory over Curacao .

    Kirwan and coach Danny Hay reflected on what his aim was when subbed on in the 73rd minute.



    The All Whites are expected to soon confirm another couple of fixtures for next month's international window.
