Florida hosts a successful water polo tournament
Florida played with a lot of confidence and displayed some moments of brilliance in the pool, but were edged out after playing a few matches against different opponents.
On Sunday, 16 February, Florida Water Polo Club hosted the Big Fellas Tournament at Allen Glen High School swimming pool.
On offer were family fun activities, food, drinks and some highly competitive polo in perfect summer conditions.
The water polo clubs that participated in the tournament were the hosts Florida, Old Edwardians, Old Dustonians, Benoni, Coelacanths, Wahoo and Zoo Lake.
The Coelacanths players were ruthless in the water and took no prisoners. They emerged as the overall winners on the day, edging out a very tough Old Dustonians side.

With numerous years of competitive polo in the form of tours around the country, Florida Water Polo Club was proud to be placed fifth nationally in the Masters tournament A Division in 2019.
