Congratulations to Mitchell Baird who continues on his rapid rise in the Australian Water Polo ranks.

Wyong’s Justin Donohue was named in the Australian School Boys team to tour Europe and New Zealand in December.
Justin was one of the kids in the Central Coast Junior Program from day one back in 2003 and I’m sure his selection is only the beginning of many more to come as our young players continue to develop through our ever expanding program on the Coast - Central Coast Junior Water Polo Director and proud dad Peter Donohue
Congratulations Justin, a great reward for all your hard work.
The main purpose behind forming this M3 side was to build young players from all clubs up to be better first graders. Plus have some fun playing a great sport over the winter… What I didn’t expect was to see the younger guys come along so quickly.
Special mentions to Joel and Jordy our goalies who only need to learn not to shut up 
and to Tait, Jacob, Benny and Presto. You guys are learning exceptionally quickly and shown the enthusiasm required to become an integral part of Central Coast water polo and its future.
The rest of the players have shown great team work in ensuring these younger players are looked after with lots of good positive talk, you guys are definitely assets to your clubs and to CCWP. The team is getting on well and having a lot of fun playing water polo together.
Training is on Sundays from 2:15pm – 3:45pm at Gosford pool. Come down for a swim and shoot with us.
Cheers,
Daniel Doohan
