Water Polo

PGSGU U19 and U16 tournament

The U19 team delivered an impressive performance, winning two matches, drawing one, and narrowly losing another. Their strong showing allowed them to tie for second place, and they ended 3rd on goal difference, showcasing their competitive spirit and teamwork.

On the other hand, the U16 team faced some tough competition. Having played only one competitive match earlier in the term before the tournament, they encountered a steep learning curve. Nevertheless, their resilience and ability to adapt were commendable; as the tournament progressed, their performance noticeably improved. Each game offered valuable experience, helping to build a solid foundation for future competitions. Overall, both teams demonstrated exceptional effort and sportsmanship, making the tournament a rewarding experience for everyone involved.

Thank you to Coach Oliver, Coach Lara and Mr Marneweck for supporting the teams.
