Meet Australian Joey Stephen Domenici

Stephen Domenici is far right. From the left Danai Gapare, Ben Harrington, Chris Bush and Capital Football Coach John Mitchell.

Stephen Domenici talks to Football in the Capital.

Stephen enjoyed staying in two hotels in two different cities in Japan.

"We didn't have much free time. It was packed in. We went for breakfast in the morning, a bit of recovery, training, video analysis, and training in the afternoon." said Stephen.

First time for video analysis?

"No, we usually do it with the ACT."

What about the playing training schedule.

"It was pretty hard, took a lot of energy out of us especially as it was so hot."

So you weren't there for a holiday?

"No," replied Stephen, "It was training training and more training. It was really good, I love it."

"I'd love to play professionally for Arsenal."

Stephen attends Daramalan College in Canberra. He played in an all ACTAS, Joey's wing attack with his ACT mate Danai Gapare on the right wing.

How did it feel to play with four Capital Football boys in the Australian national team?

"Fantastic, got your friends. Met lots of other guys. Hopefully we can all stay in the squad, make the World Cup.

"First game I played half a game against a school team. I played against Japan, Korea and Japan."

Anything else to report.

"The girls in Japan were really good! Especially the American girls which came to our hoel one time!"

At this point the parents standing nearby started to listen a little more attentively.

But Steve like most young lads quickly let the interview with a nod and a smile!

Good luck Steve.
