Cheers,

Stewart

By Sec: Portobello WPC also embark on their BWPL campaign this weekend (11/12 Sep).
Good luck to both teams]]> http://www.dunfermline-wpc.co.uk/xnews/news.php?xnewsaction=fullnews&newsarch=092010&newsid=5 secretary@dunfermline-wpc.co.uk http://www.dunfermline-wpc.co.uk/xnews/news.php?xnewsaction=fullnews&newsarch=092010&newsid=4 Sun, 05 Sep 2010 17:34:44 CDT http://www.dunfermline-wpc.co.uk/xnews/news.php?xnewsaction=fullnews&newsarch=092010&newsid=4 secretary@dunfermline-wpc.co.uk http://www.dunfermline-wpc.co.uk/xnews/news.php?xnewsaction=fullnews&newsarch=092010&newsid=3 Sun, 05 Sep 2010 17:22:46 CDT DWPC started with a drop defence although this was quickly adapted to counter the Warrender style of play. A press defence worked well with most attacks absorbed preventing Warrender from getting any shots on target within the 30s. Successful counter attacks meant DWPC were winning 8-0 at the end of the first quarter with Jake scoring from his own goal just before the hooter sounded. Regular substitutions were employed to maximise the player use and DWPC continued to gain goals winning the 2nd quarter to go in 13 - 0 at half time.
Further control of the game followed in the 3rd with another 7 goals being scored without reply despite Warrender winning a penalty that they failed to convert.
The 4th quarter started with the 95+s plus Jake in goal. Unfortunately Warrender took one of the few chances they had all game and scored after about 90s. Despite having a number of missed chances, DWPC still managed to win the quarter 3-1.
Areas for improvement include fitness to play in the larger pool, attacking formations and awareness of the shot clock timing to maximise the chances of scoring. Too many 50/50 shots were taken when time and other options were available resulting in a number of missed opportunities.
Overall a good team performance with 11 out of 12 players getting on the score sheet; Nicola and Andrew were top scorers with 4 each whilst Andrew was also the major king.
Team with goals scored in (): Jake Hinley (1), Zach Thomson (1), Andrew Melville (4), Joe Thomson (2), Nicola Tate (4), Kerry Falconer (1), Luke Thomson (1), Liam Rodger, Calum Ironside (3), Alexander Jonstone (3), Alison Tate (1), Scott Wilson (2).
Thanks to Terri Hinley and Ian Melville for helping on the table.]]> http://www.dunfermline-wpc.co.uk/xnews/news.php?xnewsaction=fullnews&newsarch=092010&newsid=3 secretary@dunfermline-wpc.co.uk http://www.dunfermline-wpc.co.uk/xnews/news.php?xnewsaction=fullnews&newsarch=092010&newsid=2 Sat, 04 Sep 2010 15:48:55 CDT click here.]]> http://www.dunfermline-wpc.co.uk/xnews/news.php?xnewsaction=fullnews&newsarch=092010&newsid=2 newsmaster@dunfermline-wpc.co.uk http://www.dunfermline-wpc.co.uk/xnews/news.php?xnewsaction=fullnews&newsarch=092010&newsid=1 Sat, 04 Sep 2010 11:34:26 CDT

The team will meet at Carnegie Clinic Car Park for 11am, with our game starting 12.45 ish, however there maybe a chance to play the game a tad earlier and make use of the pool time available, therefore we are meeting at 11am. This time could be brought forward even earlier if we hear that our game can start much earlier (around 11.30). However, unless you hear otherwise meet at the car park for 11am.

The Tournament involved 150 players, 30 team staff and 20 officials. It consisted of 4 competitions; Men, Women, Junior Men and Junior Women. The junior teams were for players born 1993 or later.

All teams were a credit to their Nation and Region. The standard of play was excellent and the closeness of so many of the games provided an excellent spectacle for all those in attendance. A single goal separated the 2nd and 3rd places for the Men's competition.

The Tournament results:

Comp: 1st 2nd 3rd
Men: Wales - Ireland - Scotland
Women: Scotland - Sweden - Ireland
Boys: Scotland - Ireland - Wales
Girls: North East ASA - Ireland - Scotland

A dinner and Ceilidh was held on the Saturday night to the enjoyment of all who attended. I'm sure our friends from outside Scotland will have great memories of their first Ceilidh.

The main goal of hosting the Tri Nations Tournament was give the Scottish teams international games and to provide a performance target for them to focus on.

All of the squads showed a positive attitude to the task and were driven to achieve good results with multiple training sessions in the last 4 months being well attended and very productive. The improvement in all the teams has been impressive.

This tournament was a regular annual event until a number of years ago. It is hoped to re-establish the event on an annual basis as part of the performance development plan leading to the Commonwealth Water Polo Championships proposed to be held in Scotland in 2014.

Based on the tremendous success of this year's tournament we are confident that we can achieve this aim.

Thanks go to all the volunteers, officials, coaches, managers, Scottish Swimming staff, NSA staff and players for making this tournament the success it was.

Thank you all for attending the Tri Nations Water Polo Tournament.

All the teams were a credit to their Nation and Region.

The performance of play was excellent and the closeness of so many of the games provided a excellent spectacle for all those in attendance.

I will send you a full report in the near future but this is to let you know about the first set of professional photos available.

These were taken by Steve Lindridge who was taking photos for Scottish Swimming and was there on Sunday afternoon.
Steve has been the official photographer for the Scottish team at the last 3 Commonwealth Games and has been appointed for the next Games in Delhi.

Steve has let me know that he loved the event and the great atmosphere. He was also very impressed with the game and speed of the game.

Another professional photographer was there for most of the weekend and I look forward to seeing his work.

Meanwhile a set of images are on the following website for people to view and purchase.

Cantal Guillot was a worthy winner of the MVP award.
Scotland's Girls team went down fighting, losing 7-15=4 to Irealnd. North East took the trophy with Ireland second.
Scotland Men also took 3rd place, They were 10-8 up at one stage against Wales.but lost 5 goals on the trot and Wales held out to win 14-12 and take the trophy.
The Junior Men showed consistency and followed up yesterday's win with a comfortable 12-6 victory over Wales. This gave them the trophy. Christopher Campbell received the MVP award although Jake Hinley must have been a serious contender with his immaculate passing from goal setting up numerous goals.

In the Women's game vs Sweden the Scots had to come from behind after losing 3 quick goals. Chantal Gulliot, in goals, played a major part in the revival with a string of good saves. Outfield the team worked hard and were rewarded with a last-minute equaliser.
Ireland and NE England fought out a dour battle in the second match with the final score 7-5 for North East.
Scotland men, like the women, had a poor start against Ireland but eventually got a deserved 11-11 draw. The Portobello trio, Keith Anderson and the Rutherford brothers were prominent but Andrew Woodall played his part with a very good game throughout.
The Campbell twins stamped their mark on the juniors' opening match against Ireland. Jake Hinley performed very well in goal while Logan Shepherd and Zach Thomson, in particular, provided good support. The game was under control by Scotland at half-time and they ran out comfortable 11-6 winners.
Scotland girls showed a lack of match practice and gulile against the North East but battled all the way. Goalkeeper Jordan Kelly-Linden and Nicola Tate put in a power of work but North East won 13-2 in the end.
Ireland and Wales men completed the day's programme with the Wlsh taking the match 12-11.]]> http://www.dunfermline-wpc.co.uk/xnews/news.php?xnewsaction=fullnews&newsarch=082010&newsid=20 newsmaster@dunfermline-wpc.co.uk http://www.dunfermline-wpc.co.uk/xnews/news.php?xnewsaction=fullnews&newsarch=082010&newsid=19 Fri, 27 Aug 2010 13:18:01 CDT

The club has now restarted after the summer break and is looking forward to the challenges the next few months will bring. Many players have been training hard over the summer for the Tri-Nations tournament and in readiness for the British Waterpolo League as part of the Caledonia Squads.

The first junior session is on 22 Aug with 93+ Scottish National League quickly upon us with the first game at Stirling on 5 Sep against Warrender. (All match details in our club diary and SWPC calendar).

We have also entered the Scottish Cup competitions plus a tournament for the 95s being run by Portobello WPC.

The next few months promises to be a busy time so please make every effort to attend training sessions and contribute to further club success.]]> http://www.dunfermline-wpc.co.uk/xnews/news.php?xnewsaction=fullnews&newsarch=082010&newsid=17 secretary@dunfermline-wpc.co.uk http://www.dunfermline-wpc.co.uk/xnews/news.php?xnewsaction=fullnews&newsarch=082010&newsid=16 Sat, 21 Aug 2010 08:21:34 CDT A 'personal' website has been created to allow all members of the Scotland Junior Squad to be kept up with information and news :-
