NZ Under-15s in Singapore?

Have just come across a Thai-language article talking about a tournament the Thai U-15 side won last week in Singapore.
 
Tournament was called the " 2nd International Youth Sports Challenge" and the final between Thailand and New Zealand was on Saturday, 5th December.
 
The article focuses on the Thai side's results but says there were 7 teams, with Thailand, Australia and Singapore B in one group, and New Zealand, Japan, Hong Kong, and Singapore A in the other.
 
Thailand beat Australia 3-1, and Singapore B 4-0, then Japan 3-0 in the semi-final, and NZ 1-0 in the final (possibly in extra time).
 
Does anyone know if this was a "proper" NZ U-15 side, or a school/regional side playing as NZ representatives?
 
Either way, possibly some decent results there, based on my assumptions that: the semis were A1 v B2, B1 v A2 (meaning NZ finished 1st in the group ahead of Japan); and a semi-final win over Australia (if the Aussies beat Singapore B)
 
Does anyone here have more information?
