Firsts
In the second edition of GPS Water Polo, the Shore Firsts strived to continue from last week’s strong win. As the whistle sounded to start the game, the boys came out ready to play against St Joseph’s College. The team got to an early first-quarter lead of 4-2, with goals to Jett Semmens and Charlie Lewcock, combined with some great saves from Alex Woolfe in goals. The cracking start was continued into the second quarter with some good defence from Hamish Walls and JJ Black at centre back, which attributed to a half-time lead of 8-2. However, in the Firsts competition, nothing is secured with 2 goals apiece in the third quarter. With some encouragement from the team captain (Ando Stock), the team looked set to close out the game convincingly in the away team’s pool. Special mention to Tommy Milcz on his first (Firsts) goal and subsequent hattrick. The result was a credible win Shore’s way, 14-5. Sights are now set to defend the Colosseum next week against King’s.

The Shore 15As had a fantastic comeback win against St Joesph’s College on Saturday. The first half showed a strong defensive game from both teams. Both goalkeepers being instrumental in the low score of 3 each at half-time. Joeys pulled ahead in the third quarter putting away some clever counter-attack goals. At third quarter time, our Shore boys were motivated to finish the game with a win. The boys in the water seemingly had an injection of speed, and we were soon the ones on the counter-attack. The scores were even with less than two minutes to go and an important, and powerful, centre forward goal came from Shore 15As Captain, Henry Crookes to put us in the lead. St Joesph’s had an opportunity to tie the game, but once again, strong defence was instrumental. Well done to all the team for a great effort.
