A number of Casebrook students have been selected to play in either the A or B Waterpolo team this year. Water Polo is very physical water sport with lots of swimming and egg-beating. Six players are on at a time.

A Team

Last week, the Casebrook A-team were playing in the water polo semi-finals. We played Christ the King. If we won, we would have been playing Cobham Cheetahs in the finals for 1st or 2nd but we lost so we played Heaton A for 3rd or 4th.

Casebrook A results-

Round 1: Casebrook A vs Heaton A 3-3

Round 2 : Casebrook A vs Canterbury Water polo Red 1-0

Round 3: Casebrook A vs Breens Submarines 7-3

Round 4: Casebrook A vs Christ the King 4-5

Round 5 : 10 June Casebrook A vs Cobham Cheetahs 1-6

Round 6: Casebrook A vs Christ the King 2-7 (Semi Finals)

Round 7: Casebrook A vs Heaton A 2-8 (Final for 3&4)

B Team

The B Team are playing in the final this Friday against St Francis. We hope that they bring home the first place trophy! Go the B team!

Casebrook B results-

Round 1: Casebrook B vs Cobham Camels 11-2

Round 2: Casebrook B vs St Francis B 5-10

Round 3: Casebrook B vs Heaton Green 1-1

Round 4: Casebrook B vs Cathedral G White 5-7

Round 5 : Casebrook B vs Chissy Sharks 8-4

Coming up: Round 7: Casebrook B vs St Francis

Water polo fundraising

The Water polo team are fundraising to go to a Dunedin tournament in late Term 3. We have done a bake sale and successfully raised over $630 dollars! We are also doing a mufti day, sausage sizzle, hot chips at the canteen, garage sale and so much more. The Mufti day is on Friday 28 June. Bring a gold coin so you can wear your favourite clothes! You can buy hot chips from the canteen on Thursday 4 July. Make sure you bring some loose change to get you in a happy mood. Please support us so we can get to Dunedin!

A big thank you to Miss McKenzie, Mr Watts and Miss Chilvers for organising and supporting the teams and also a huge thanks to Blake and Moe for using your personal time to help and coach us this term. This couldn’t be possible without you!
