Water polo in the swim
ADF water polo players will be in the swim for top honours when they contest the inter-service championships from December 4-8 in Townsville. Men’s and women’s teams from the Northern Territory, North and South-East Queensland and NSW are expected to compete in the titles at Lavarack Barracks. Up for grabs is the ADF Services Water Polo Interstate Cup which is currently held by North Queensland.
