We had five teams competing in the Term 1 league, with our Senior Red and Blue teams developing, while looking ahead to their big year of Water Polo. Our Senior B Team had an excellent season challenging themselves in the Senior A grade, playing against some tough top teams.
Senior A won the Senior A grade of the College Sport competition for the fifth consecutive year. Our Premier team won the bronze medal over a strong Rangitoto team.
During Summer Tournament Week we had our Senior B and Senior C teams playing in the Division 2 North Island Championships. Our Senior B team made it all the way to the final, where they lost the game 6 -2 vs Kristin Premier team, however our team played amazingly well together and everyone improved so much. Our Senior C team came 12th in the tournament.
Our Senior A and Premier Water Polo Teams competed in the Division 1 championships. Senior A placed ninth, after competition rules placed them at the bottom of their pool due to them being a second team. This team played exceptionally well against some Premier teams.
The Premier team won Bronze at this event over Rangitoto, after a tough semi-final against Baradene.
Congratulations to all of our Diocesan Water Polo athletes and thank you to all the coaches and managers for their hard work. The group will now turn to the New Zealand Secondary Schools competition in Wellington for Division 1, and Hamilton for Division 2 from 13–16 April. Best of luck to all our athletes!
