Three Navy personnel players were selected for representative honours
at the recent ADF Water Polo Association Inter Service Championships at
Lavarack Barracks Pool in Townsville on December 4-8.
AB Richard Gregory and AB Andrew Wilkinson were selected in the men’s
representative team for July’s Australian Country Championships in
Kalgoorlie, Western Australia and SMN Suzie Clarkson was included in the
women’s team.
The men’s competition was contested by North Queensland, the Northern
Territory and Combined South East Queensland/NSW and the women’s
by North Queensland and a composite team from the NT, South-East Queensland
and NSW.
The men’s competition was won convincingly 14-5 by the combined South
East Queensland/NSW team against the Northern Territory after a tight
semi-final between NT and North Queensland. NT stole that game 10-9 in
extra time after the two had been locked at 9-9 at the end of regulation
time.
PTE Camille Reed led the way in the comprehensive 15-1 win by the combined
NT/South East Queensland/NSW team in the women’s final against North
Queensland.
Most valuable player in the women’s competition was PTE Reed, with
a three-way draw for the men’s award between Army Craftsman Craig
Spence, Capt Davis (Army) and Craftsman Mason Watts.
“About 70 players competed, including many new players, which is
a promising sign for the future,” the new ADFWPA president SGT Karina
Peacock said.
