Patterson on Target Again - Ipswich Town News
Academy midfielder Monty Patterson was amongst the scorers as New Zealand’s U20s smashed Papua New Guinea 12-1 in a friendly in Auckland this morning.
Patterson, who starts a full-time scholarship with the Blues this summer, came on as a sub in the 83rd minute and three minutes later netted his side’s 12th goal, the visitors adding their solitary strike in injury time.
The goal was the 17-year-old’s fourth in the Junior All Whites’ three friendlies this week. On Sunday he scored once in a 5-0 victory over Fiji, then picked up a brace in Tuesday’s second friendly against the same opposition.
The games were part of New Zealand's preparations for the 2015 U20 World Cup which they are hosting. In June they are going on a tour of China.
