On Sunday 14^th November 2010 the Central Coast water polo community put on an inaugural charity shield event which turned out to be a great day. I know this is an old cliché but the real winner on the day was water polo and Cystic Fibrosis even though the South side came away with the trophy.

We can all give ourselves a pat for raising a few hundred dollars for Cystic Fibrosis and more importantly bringing awareness about CF to the community. The feedback from players, members and public is to do it again and with everyone’s support I think this thoughtful and enjoyable event can only get better.

All feedback from the event and future ideas to make improvements can be forwarded to Daniel Doohan dandoohan@hotmail.com

Thank you CCWP members for a great day and very big thank you to those who helped out on the day.

Results:

Men’s 1^st grade: South 19-12

Ladies 1^st grade: North 11-7

Men’s 2^nd grade: South 16-6

There will be 34 sports on the program, with more than 10,000 people from all over the world expected to converge on the Gold Coast to participate.

The Pan Pacific Masters Games is a celebration of master’s sport with both fierce and friendly competition and a jam-packed entertainment program at the Games Village at the end of each day.

The minimum age requirement for Waterpolo is 30 years for women and 35 years for men. The Event divisions include:  Women – 30+, 35+, 40+ and 45+ and Men – 35+, 40+, 45+ and 50+.  The competition will be held at the Miami Olympic Pool.

All sports are located in close proximity to the Games Village at the Gold Coast Convention & Exhibition Centre in Broadbeach. The Games Village will feature the registration centre, merchandise, live nightly entertainment, fully catered hospitality and an exclusive venue for competitors to meet up and enjoy the spirit the event is known for.

Being held on the Gold Coast also means that participants can enjoy the golden sands of the surf beaches, choose from a huge range of accommodation for all budgets, visit the exciting theme parks and relax at some great restaurants, bars and cafes.

Tonight’s match ups at PLC:

M3 – Wyong v The Entrance 6:00pm

L2 -  Gosford v Wyong 6:30pm

M2 - Gosford v Woy Woy 7:00pm

L1 – Gosford v The Entrance 7:45pm

M1 – Woy Woy v Gosford 8:30pm

I’m currently finding out which players are interested in playing the M3 winter competition. We have quite a few players keen and could possibly also field an M1/2 side as well if the Hurricanes don’t put a team in. This means there could possibly be a couple of Novacastrians in both M3 or M1/2 side. This will all depend on the number of players who put their name down.

M3 will be played on Tuesday nights times vary from around 7:00pm start to 8:30pm start.
M1/2 is played on Wednesday nights. I should have an update on the M1/2 competition on Wednesday night.

The current plan is to have training at Gosford pool over winter for those who want to train.

I’ll be putting in for getting Gosford pool for water polo training on Sunday afternoons. What we do at these training sessions will come down to who turns up really. They will be open to all people of the Central Coast who want to keep fit over the winter.

I’ll also (and this is more for me than anyone) be doing squad training on Thursday nights 6:45 – 8:00pm with Gosford Pool. If any of you are interested in coming along or want to watch me swim for the humurous satisfaction of it let me know.

Ryde pool will be our home pool as they only have an M4 and M5 team and said we could enter in on their block for home games. They also only have an M4 – M6 for summer so we could potentially become a sister club for them over winter and summer for those who want more water polo or Sydney experience.
