Sedgefield Water Polo Club held our first home U14 league match of the season on Saturday 13th April against Rotherham Metro. The game got off to an exciting start thanks to goals from Thomas and Indie, but then Rotherham fought back to end the quarter 2-1. Another goal from Thomas was followed by two from Harry to give an impressive 5-1 lead by half time.
Following on from a team talk at half time, the team were determined to maintain their lead for the rest of the game. Strengthened by the fantastic support from the crowd on the balcony, goals were scored by Indie and Harry in the first two minutes of the third quarter, making the score an amazing 7-1. Rotherham then found their strength to fight back, scoring one goal in the third quarter and another three in the final quarter, with Sedgefield struggling to get any further goals past the Rotherham goalkeeper. The final score was 7-5 to Sedgefield; an excellent win and a great start to the season for the young team, who played their final match under the guidance of head coach Adam Woods who is leaving the club to pursue new ventures.
