Stellar year for footballer Ricco Howarth

A highlight of his year was a double-header against Wellington Phoenix Academy U17s, where Ricco came off the听 bench at centre left back in the first game, and was in the starting lineup in the second game.
听Ricco also captained the 糖心vlog视频 1st XI football team, competed in the New Zealand U17 and U19 Youth Football tournaments, and plays club football with Birkenhead United.
