Water Polo

Water Polo, the sport that never sleeps, has already had a busy year for our Premier Boys' and Girls' teams in Term 1 including a pre-season training camp in Mt Maunganui and the Super 6’s Tournament over Auckland Anniversary Weekend, the North Island Champs and the New Zealand Secondary School Nationals. In the College Sports leagues, both sides finished in positions that will see them playing in promotional games to compete in division one in 2023. Phew – and breathe.

Meanwhile, our other senior sides have continued to develop and build depth across our Water Polo programme – all the while negotiating traffic light settings and player unavailability through isolations.

Our junior teams competed in their respective College Sport oneday tournaments (over three different days) with the Boys A team having some tough games in the A league and the Boys B team steadily improving over the three days and having some good wins. Our Girls A team drew one game and won all the rest, so well done to them. All of this is building the strength and depth of Kristin Water Polo. On the representative front Una Dennehy continues to excel, making the North Harbour Senior Women’s team and the NZ Youth Squad, while Kristin Alumni Lucia Doak is making waves (pun intended) in the US College system turning in some eyecatching performances for the UC San Diego Tritons.
