Water Polo Report
16As
The 16As Water Polo team were at home this week against a tough Kings College side. Shore started well with some tough defence and a quick goal from Chase Harvey, hitting the top corner from 6 metres out. We played hard defence for the rest of the quarter, but Kings replied near the end of the quarter with a goal. The second quarter started strongly with some fast breaks and close shots, and it was rewarded with a goal from Michael Walker. Kings hit back again within the next minutes scoring a counter-attack goal after some poor offense from Shore.
As the game progressed, some hard battles were fought underwater and after some turnovers and missed shots from both teams, Ando Stock took the lead for Shore with a great goal from centre forward. Kings again shot back with an equaliser but with some great passing and swimming, with only 2 minutes left on the clock, Ando Stock scored his second to give us the lead. A tussle, fouls and some confusion at the end, lead to Kings getting a last-minute penalty which resulted in them tying the game on the final whistle. A special mention goes to Chase Harvey and Josh Izzard for both having great games in offence and defence today.

Firsts and Seconds Cap Presentation
Last Thursday evening the Firsts and Seconds players and parents gathered on the Chapel Lawn to celebrate the start of the AAGPS season. This is the first time we have been able to hold this event in three years and it was excellent to see the Shore Water Polo community together. We were fortunate enough to have Rio and Tokyo Olympian, Goran Tomasevic give an uplifting speech to the teams about following their passion, his love of Water Polo and trying to find a balance between career and sport. Speeches were made by the Captain of the Seconds, Finn Baxter and the Captain of Water Polo, Harry Underhill before the players were awarded with their numbered Water Polo cap for the AAGPS competition.
