On Thursday, Abingdon’s 1st VII water polo team travelled to Harrow School to compete in the Five School Challenge Cup.
The first match, against our hosts, was disappointing despite our best efforts to defend and we lost 0-6. Re-thinking our strategy on positioning, we managed a win of 3-1 in our second match against Marlborough. This success continued into subsequent matches with a victory against both Charterhouse and Eton. Much of this was down to near perfect teamwork, much perseverance from Oliver and strong defence thanks to Kit and Chung Nam, our alternating keepers. Even so, we just missed out on first place, coming second in what was a great start to what will hopefully be a strong year of water polo for Abingdon.
