Last Wednesday Grammar sent a team of 10 boys to the ACTSSSA Boys Waterpolo Competition at the Civic pool. The team consisted of Andrew Smith, Robert Morgan, Joel Snyder, Rex Martin and Yudhish Shakespeare (Year 10), Tom Skacel, Derek Bayley and Robert Albertson Kill (Year 9) and Tom Ethell and Chris McClelland (Year 8).

The boys had a sucessful day winning all of their round robin matches against Alfred Deakin, Canberra, Belconnen, Lyneham, Stromlo and Narabundah High Schools. Rex Martin and Derek Bayley were intrumental in attack scoring the majority of Grammars goals between them. Yudhish Shakespeare and Robert Morgan swapped in and out of goals and kept the overall scare against Grammar low as well as scoring on several occasions. Tom Skacel, Andrew Smith, Joel Snyder and Robert Albertson Kill all contributed and swam hard in what was a long, hot day. Tom Ethell and Chris McClelland also played well and held their own against some bigger opposition.

The finals saw Grammar face off against Alfred Deakin. Grammar started well scoring the first 3 goals of the game to lead at half time 3-0. But a late surge by Alfred Deakin saw them bring the score back to 3-2 with a minute to go. Grammar managed to hang on with some possession play and secured a victory. Congratulations to all the boys. Thanks also to Mr. Cruickshank and Mr. Ross for organising and coaching the team.
