THE Geelong Marlins club hosted 28 teams from Melbourne for double rounds of Water Polo Victoria\u2019s Junior competition at Kardinia Aquatic Centre at the weekend, celebrating the developing junior water polo team in the Geelong region.<\/p>\n
The competition \u2013 which is usually hosted in Melbourne \u2013 relocated the weekend\u2019s games to Kardinia in support of the Marlins who currently field two under 12 teams.<\/p>\n
The teams travel to Melbourne to play every second week and couldn\u2019t contain their excitement to play on their home turf.<\/p>\n
Over 250 young players braved through 27 games of water polo over the course of the day, resulting in a few tired little tackers on their journeys home to Melbourne, the Surf Coast and parts of Geelong.<\/p>\n
Water Polo Victoria\u2019s competitions officer Tony Ryan said the day was a great success and was thrilled with the way the three pools were set up by Kardinia pool management and the Geelong Marlins club, as well as parent support groups.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll teams and families were keen to return to Kardinia for more games as the competition progresses,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
