Water polo at Newcastle

Woy Woy water polo team played in the NSW Country Championships held at Newcastle over the Australia Day long weekend.

Woy Woy was defeated in the final 10-5 by Lake Macquarie in the men's first division.

Woy Woy performed strongly all weekend but unfortunately during the match, made too many errors in their own game, which cost them the final.

Daniel Robinson, of Woy Woy, also recently represented ACT in the National under-20 Water Polo Championships.

He said the opportunity was a fantastic experience and has been a huge learning curve.

"To get the opportunity to play in that level of competition taught me a great deal about what I need to work on to make it into the National League," he said.

"It improved both my mental and physical game."

Woy Woy has played the Entrance in waterpolo at Gosford Pool.

The juniors won 9-3, in second grade the men won 9-7 and the women won 11-5.

In first grade the men won12-3.

With only three rounds to go until the semi-finals, Woy Woy looks set to take the minor premiership in first grade men's and Wyong will definitely take out the women's minor premiership.

Semi-finals will be held in the first week in March.
