Grade (2nd Division) Finals Update….

Mens 6th grade progressed on Tuesday night through to the grand final.  They were 4-1 down on half time and went onto win 6-4, thats 5 unanswered goals!!  The whole team played very well.  Sydney Uni is a fast young team with the ability to score a lot of goals, we managed to hold on, so to speak.for a good win. 

Mens 5th grade won their minor semi and progress through to the finals next week - they are punching above their weight and doing a great job. Brandon is the only senior player there and they're improving every game. 

The Mighty Mens 4th grade also won their minor semi and are having a great back end to the season.  The return of Fads and Whirty has seen them turn a corner.  They will be back on next week. 

The 4th and 5th grade women have been as equally impressive with both 4th and 5th grade winning their major semi on Wednesday night.  4th grade women held out to win a tight match 9-8 against Breakers, whilst 5th grade dominated the Dolphins in an 8-3 win.  Both teams are straight through to the Grand Final. 

Go Sharkies!!!!

State Championships M18 victorious!!

The Cronulla Sharks M18 team are delivering an extraordinary season of results which sees them on top of the metropolitan competition and 2014 State Champions. In the metropolitan competition the Sharks have only suffered 1 defeat and remained undefeated throughout the State Championships to convincingly take gold. These impressive results are a testament to Coach Dudi Krstic who has moulded the group into a physically fit, smart and above all tenacious unit.

 At the recent state championships, which were physically the toughest I have personally witnessed, the team were outstanding taking on all comers including the fancied UNSW Wests, Hunter and ultimately Sydney University in the gold medal match.

 So impressive were the boys in the pool games they only conceded 6 goals whilst scoring 57. In the semi-final they shut Hunter out 13 – 8 and in the final dominated Sydney University 7 – 4. As an example of the strength of this team across the pool every field player goaled in the tournament.

 The blend of youth provided by Ben Scobie, Keellan Milinkovic, Ryan Greer, Aden Simmons, Dan McStravick, Jono Ryan and the hard edge contributed by Tom Freeman, Lachie Clarke, Rhys Holden, Alex Hoy, Jack Robertson and Angus Lambie has created an exceptionally willing and skilful team. This has been recognised by Tom, Lachie, Rhys and Angus being selected in the “Tournament 7” team as the best players at the tournament. I expect that higher honours in the form of NSW selection will follow for much of the championship team and this week Rhys Holden, Tom Freeman and Angus Lambie will attend the Australian Born 96 training camp in Sydney.

 There is a bright future for Sharks Water Polo with such talented players and dedicated coaches.
