Corrie to compete in New Zealand

Corrie Eames, a member of the Woy Woy Water Polo Club, has capped off a great summer of competition with selection in the Combine High Schools Under-15 State team to compete at the Pan Pacific Games in New Zealand during the July school holidays.

Corrie, 14, of Kincumber High School, will tour New Zealand for two weeks.

The first week the Combined High Schools (CHS) team will compete in the PanPac Games and the second week they will play a three-game test series against the New Zealand National Under-15 team.

Corrie's other achievements this year include: being a member of the successful Central Coast under-20 Men's Team in the NSW Country Championships and selection in the NSW under-20 Country Squad.

He was also selected in the Under-18's Hunter Academy of Sport team, the NSW Under-16 State Water Polo squad and he was also a member of the Woy Woy Water Polo Club's successful Open Men and Under-18 team in the local competition.

"Corrie's selection in the State squads means a great deal of dedication and sacrifice for both him and his family," said Central Coast Waterpolo publicity officer Ms Mardi Love.

"At least once per week, he travels to Sydney for training before school, with 4am starts, as well as continuing with his swimming and ball skills training on the Coast.

"Corrie's tour of New Zealand will cost $1700 and while he is doing as much fundraising as he can in between training, if anyone can offer assistance it would be greatly appreciated."
