Last weekend, the Junior B waterpolo team competed in the 4-day North Island Year 9/10 Open 2 Division held in Auckland.
The team’s opening round robin pool saw them up against three other Colleges, all with very strong predominantly boys teams. Unfortunately, this meant the girls mainly played a defensive game and couldn’t quite come up with a win at the end of round robin play – which meant they finished bottom of the pool.
The girls finally had their opportunity to play an all-girls school when they met St Cuthbert’s in the play off round for 13th to 16th place. The girls played a great game both defensively and in attack – and it was exciting to see them score two goals in the final quarter – but unfortunately it wasn’t quite enough to secure a win.
Although the tournament didn’t go as hoped, it was great to see them playing well as a team, enjoying themselves, having some fun and not giving up!
