Water Polo Reports
14As
The 14As had their first away game for the season at Joeys last Saturday. With a few players away at a Water Polo tournament, it was going to be a tough game against the always competitive Joeys. It was evident from the sound of the first whistle that the boys had an edge with swimming fitness and a strong press defence which meant that we were able to keep the score to 5-2 at half-time.
Max Hughes had an excellent game in centre forward and Archie Lawry, Zac Brown and Hugo Stewart scored some amazing counterattack goals. Special mention to Alex Ryan, Gus Pritchard and Jack Steiger-Thorpe who played two games back-to-back for a massive eight quarters of Water Polo. A great final victory of 11-6 against a strong Joeys team.

The boys journeyed out to Joey’s this week to play Sydney Boys High on neutral ‘turf’. It was a cracking day to be in the outdoor pool, with the coaches and managers resisting the urge to get in the water to cool down.
A great turn out from the Shore parents as well, who were barracking on from whatever shade could be found. With a few players out, and the team down to one reserve, the boys knew they were in for a long game. Shore got out to a quick start, with a couple of early goals.
Things slowed down a fair bit in the second quarter, with Sydney Boys clawing back to a draw by half-time. A strong pep talk from Old Boy and super Coach, Jake, had the boys beginning the second half by streaking ahead of the opposition.
Some great teamwork and passing saw the boys make a number of fantastic plays to get the ball up into the attacking half. In the end, the Shore boys had a comfortable victory and tan lines to show for it!
