Tahuna Kingfish take 2nd place in the South Island Water Polo Champs!

An epic result from a truly great team!

Over three tough days of competition, this team showed all the attributes of all the great teams: hard work, determination, belief, support, bravery, and an unbelievable team spirit.

The team has been playing together in the Dunedin Intermediate water polo competition, making those connections and understanding each other's strengths, which really paid off.

The competition had Y7/8 teams from all over the South Island, and the kids were super excited to test their skills against the best young water polo players in the South Island.

We competed hard through the initial pool play games and came out unbeaten, which was a testament to the skills of this team.

On finals day, we won our semi-final, which meant a final against Blenheim's Bohally Intermediate. It was a hard-fought game, but Bohally were a strong team, and we just couldn't get the W this time. Congratulations to Bohally for their performance.

Congratulations to our team for all they have achieved. Tahuna is super proud of you. Also a HUGE kia ora to Anna Wallace, who worked super hard as their coach and really got the best out of the players!

Tahuna Kingfish: Olive Cooke, Walter Sheed, Julian Boddam, Perry Saker, Lewis Sheed, Lauchie Keogh, Alex Martin, Luka Richardson and Ben Aghjehloo.
