Water Polo

The Aqua Queen's had a stunning win against a Taieri College mixed team, in the final of the B Grade Water Polo competition last night. Captained by Mereana Martin, who displayed outstanding skills to assist her team to victory. It was a fast, close game, with a final score of 8-7. Big thanks to Greg Martin, Coach, for another successful season.

Touch

The touch season wrapped up last night and the Queen's Junior A Team finished with a 3-1 win against a St Hilda's team in the Junior A league. Some great team tries were scored and it was inspiring to see the team develop over what was a shorter season than usual. The Junior B Team also played last night and despite a courageous effort, they had a narrow loss. The team displayed a great team ethic and fought hard till the end. Hopefully the Term 4 touch season will return to games being played weekly. Well done to all our players who put in a great effort this season and proudly demonstrated the Queen's Way on and off the pitch.
