High scoring and intense contests across both divisions marked an action-packed night of water polo at Karratha Leisureplex.

The B-grade women took to the water for the first match of round six on Thursday with Holly Child showing she is just as comfortable in the field as she is as goalie, putting away three for the Wahoos. Final score 6-2 to the Wahoos.

Low numbers across the B-grade men’s teams for a second week resulted in a forfeit.

The A-grade women’s teams continue to develop their strategies as the training behind the scenes for Country Week ramps up. Courtney Williams from Krakens scored an impressive shot from deep wing, assisting her team to another win against the Barracudas, 10-4.
