Waterpolo aiming to finish season on high

The senior water polo team have gone through the season unbeaten including breaking a long time draught by defeating Palmerston North Boys High School by 7 goals.

Perennial winners of the competition PNBHS have dominated locally and this is a great achievement by coach Tom Aitken and his team.

They play their final on Thursday at WRAC Kilbirnie and it would be great to see some supporters there to get behind them. Time and opposition to be confirmed – keep an eye on social media for updates.
