| Scouts - Canoe Polo
Competition This year the
scouts had put in many hours of practice in the lead-up to the
competition and the seniors especially were looking very sharp. We still
had a size and strength disadvantage to the teams consisting solely of
boys, but at least we were prepared and the whole senior team have
learnt to roll..
We entered two scout teams
and two cub teams. Eastleigh were there in force with 9 teams, while
Benoni and Florida combined to enter another 3 teams.
The cubs were looking good,
having practiced a couple of times. After entering two teams, some cubs
didn't turn up so one team had to play one short. This isn't much of a
handicap in the cub section as the games are very slow. The main team
came 3rd, behind two teams from Eastleigh.
The junior team, although
enthusiastic, are positively diminutive in comparison to the junior
teams of other groups. The general level of skill amongst the juniors is
improving rapidly, but unfortunately not fast enough. The team took a
couple of wins on the day, to finish 4th with the section being won by a
combined Benoni / FLSS team.
The senior team really
played well and had the beating of almost everybody. In the end, the
superior strength of the Eastleigh boys team was to much for us and we
went down in that game to finish second on the day
