Woy Woy wins at Wagga Wagga
The Woy Woy Wombats Water Polo Club has returned victorious from the NSW Country Club Championships held in Wagga Wagga over three days from January 28 to 30.
The club entered a men's team which won the competition for the first time since 2008, competing against Lake Macquarie, Albury Sharks, Nordek from the ACT and East and Central Newcastle.
The Nordic team was the only team able to defeat the Woy Woy Wombats and managed to remain undefeated until they entered the grand final where the Wombats took them out 8-6.
"The Wombats played one of their best games of the season," said communications director Ms Belinda Simpson.
"Goal keeper Sam Wheeler had a brilliant game and the opposition could just not get anything past him," she said.
Wombat players Brit Tait and Tracy Elliot also played in the championships, however, they competed in a team for Central Newcastle and managed to win their division.
Brit Tait has also recently been selected for the Hunter Hurricanes National League team.
