Inaugural Hutt Nippers Cup - A Fantastic Success
The brain child of Lindy Naylor with help from the Committee and willing parents, Hutt hosted a very successful under-14 tournament between 19-21 Sep at Huia Pool.
With boys and girls teams from Harbour City, Maranui, Marist (Auckland) and of course Hutt, the emphasis was on participation, fun and to gain experience with fully setup pool surrounds with proper clocks and good refereeing.
The tournament was purposely held at the same time as the Under-16 National Champs in Invercargill - so while not being a B grade tournament as such, the Hutt Nippers Cup provided an excellent opportunity for full participation at this under-14 age group.
From every game there was a MVP selected for which a small trophy was awarded.
Results - Finals:
Boys - won by Marist 5 over Hutt Red 4
Girls - won by Harbour City 7 over Marist 6
Play off 3rd & 4th:
Boys - won by Maranui 7 over Harbour City 5
Girls - won by Hutt 5 over Maranui White 3
Lindy made the following statement afterwards:
"A big thank you to all those who participated in the recent Hutt U14 Nippers Cup. Huia buzzed all weekend with excitment - it was fantastic to see. And a special thanks to the Marist Club for bringing two teams"
Harbour City also host an Under-14 tournament due in mid-October - "Smokecds.com U14 Water Polo Challenge" - thus providing a good series of games for Wellington teams leading into the Under-14 National Championships in early December. |
