Country Club Polo Tourney

The Lake Macquarie Dolphins are flipping and flopping their way into the championship game at the Annual Country Club Water Polo Tournament held in Newcastle this year. The Dolphins got off to a whale of start on Saturday morning winning the first 2 games by a heap of goals. Sunday's matches were dominated in much the same fashion as The Dolphins made their way to the Semi's.

The Country Club Tournament is one of kind in it's ability to attract serious polo during the day as well as serious good times in the evening. The Saturday night function was held at the Hamilton RSL and included stiff drinks, dance parties, and good times. Sunday morning, though most players were lacking sufficient sleep from the night before, provided a great match between The Dolphins and Woy Woy. Mitchel Baird and Daniel Robinson both gave great efforts but just could not mustard enough strength to overcome the ferocious nature of The Dolphins.

I got work off today(Monday) and tomorrow on account of Australia day, enabling me to play in the 11:30 game this afternoon. If we win, we will be swimming to the finals later in the day.
I will be back with updates after we win the Finals.
