Firsts
Shore’s Firsts Water Polo team delivered a powerful performance in their latest game against King’s, securing a dominant win with a relentless attack and solid defence. From the opening whistle, the Firsts set the tone, racing to an 8-0 lead by the end of the first quarter. The team’s energy and focus were evident as they moved the ball with precision and executed strategic plays. Shore’s defence was equally imposing, with goalkeeper Henry Frape not only guarding the net but also thrilling the crowd with a memorable goal of his own.
Jett Semmens and Charlie Lewcock led the scoring with four goals, showing sharp shooting and smart positioning. George Kennedy added two goals with precise timing, while Charlie Kovacs and Cooper Semmens each contributed one. Captain Ando Stock executed an excellent centre-forward goal. Tommy Milcz scored twice, and Chase Harvey netted three with speed and accuracy. Harrison Brunker rounded out the scoring with two goals, completing a strong offensive display for Shore. With two trial matches over the next couple of weeks, the boys will be working hard for the final matches of the GPS season against Scots and Newington later in the Term.
