Water Polo

Our under 15's boys and girls water polo teams participated in the Sydney South West knockout recently.

Our girls were very strong, with plenty of experience from the open's tournament earlier in the year.

Unfortunately the standard of competition from the other schools was just as good. Renae Prasad of year 9 used her speed in the water to advantage and scored a few crafty goals, largely thanks to some strong midfield work from Jasmine Quach and Jessica Stanley. Our defence was good, but each of the other teams had several girls that play competitive water polo. We managed to finish fourth in the region. 

Our 15's boys were new to the game with only one student having previously played the game.

However, the strong swimming ability and transfer of skills from other sports, allowed the boys to quickly learn the skills required to be competitive. We managed to trouble the scorers each game with some well-constructed goals and some close results filled us with confidence going into the regional final against Prairiewood High School. Leading 2-1 with two minutes to go wasn't enough to secure the win. Prairiewood managed to score some great pressure goals to take the prize, whilst Cecil Hills finished as regional runners up. Well done on an excellent result.

Western Sydney Wanderers Cup Finals

Our girls and boys teams played in the Western Sydney Wanderers Cup finals this week. The girls had one win and two losses to finish third in their pool. The boys won three games and lost one to finish top of their pool. But in their quarter final they ran out of legs and went down to a fresher Mamre Anglican School. Well done on another impressive season.
