Water polo team splashes onto podium
The Hibiscus Coast Water Polo Club entered two teams at the annual Logan Family King’s Birthday U12 Tournament on May 30 to June 2, both brought home medals.
The club has been based at Stanmore Bay Leisure Centre since 2017. The HBC Horizons, a team new to the sport, ended with a third-place finish in the Newbie Grade. The more experienced HBC Hurricanes competed in the C Grade and emerged as champions with the gold.
They won six of their seven games. The teams include players from a range of local schools on the Hibiscus Coast, including Silverdale Primary, Gulf Harbour School, Ōrewa Beach Primary, Red Beach School, KingsWay Primary, Whangaparāoa Intermediate, Wentworth College, and Ōrewa College.
The tournament brought together 33 teams from across Auckland, Waikato and Rotorua hosted by Mountfort Park Water Polo Club in Manurewa.
