Very difficult end to Polo Boy's Water Polo career. Another player was trained up to move into goal so polo boy was free to defend again. But it just wasn't enough. Expected defeat in the first game on Friday (by the eventual champions -the team who have held the title for years except for last year's upset by us) sent us to the 5th-8th place bracket. It was a closer game than they expected, though -15-11! Then next morning a heart-breaking loss as the opposition broke a tied game with 4 seconds on the clock .....only to be topped by the game for 7th place in the afternoon where the opposition broke the tie with only 1 second on the clock.
