Water polo is a sport with a growing profile at Otago Boys’ with this year’s Junior A team dominating the Friday night competitions – taking the Term One Trophy and remaining unbeaten in Term Four.
On the back of that form, the team traveled to the recent South Island Secondary School championships in Invercargill and brought home the silver medal.
Team captain Thomas Wardhaugh was awarded the Most Promising Player title at the series.
During the year Thomas also filled the role of team coach and instructor in an effort of Daniel Vettori-like proportions. Another team member Jeremy Rei gained his referee ticket during the season.
The school’s Junior B team also enjoyed a good year, beating most opponents in the Otago competition.
Three boys gained their water polo blues in 2009 … Arthur Ibbotson, Thomas Wardhaugh and Rhys Woods.
With the talent coming through the ranks, the school’s senior team of 2010 will present a formidable challenge to all-comers in the Otago school competition.
