Secondary Schools Water Polo
For the second time within a few weeks, the Church College of Hamilton left Nelson holding a major secondary schools' award. The first was the indoor basketball championship. More recently it was the national secondary schools' water polo title. The team played and won all its matches well. Nelson, with a very young and comparatively inexperienced side, didn t do so well, but there's another day. The Nelson team Above was, from left: Peter Duncan, Ron Tomlinson, Chris Maling, Mark Horrock, Craig Newport, Peter Garguilo, Trevor Pugh, Chris Gladstone, Stephen Gladstone, Salvi Persico and Derek Wood (goalie).
