Seconds<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Shore\u2019s Seconds Water Polo team began their season with a very strong performance against a talented Sydney Boys High team. Having played Sydney Boys the week before in the Thomas Whalan tournament and only just coming away with the win, the boys were keen to start strong and improve on their results. The game started fast, with Shore taking an early lead with counterattack goals from Tom Larcombe<\/strong>, Fergus Brown<\/strong> and Ollie Kelly<\/strong> in the first quarter, but Sydney Boys High were determined not to let Shore run away with the game. Over the next two quarters, both teams struggled to gain the upper hand in a very tight contest, but going into the fourth, Shore was able to reach a 6-2 lead. After a motivating speech from Coach Danny, the boys were keen to finish the game strong. More counterattack goals from the captain James Bestic<\/strong>, Liam Sidwell<\/strong>, Fergus Brown<\/strong> and Tom Larcombe<\/strong> in the fourth saw Shore stretch the lead to 10-4, proving the depth within the team. The team looks to continue their momentum against Joeys next Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fourths<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Fourths Water Polo had a positive start to the season with a hard-fought 7-4 victory over Sydney Boys High. A slow start saw the Fourths end the first quarter one goal up. However, the dominance of Michael Irvine<\/strong>, Joseph Allan<\/strong> and Tom Wensley<\/strong> in the middle of the pool gave the ascendency to Shore in the second quarter. The second half was again dominated by Shore, however High clawed their way back in the final quarter to force Shore into defending their goal and trying to force turnovers. Overall, a great start to the season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
