Congratulations to all 10 boys today. They should be incredibly proud of their performances and resilience shown today.

Starting the day with a young and inexperienced squad of 10, each game was expected to be a tough challenge.

To go all the way to the final and then go toe to toe with a Warrender team stacked full of 2010s and made up mostly of NDS U16 squad members was a fantastic achievement.  It was a tough start with Warrender racing into a quickfire 4-0 lead, but the boys dug and scored some fantastic goals to get back into the game 7-3 down at HT. Warrender's bigger bench and older players started to take its toll on the boys as they started to tire, but they kept digging in and fighting back. The game ended 14-6 with John and James each bagging a hat-trick, and the boys taking a very well deserved Silver medal 🥈 🤽🏻‍♂💙💪

U/15 Girls Scottish Water Polo Championships – Sun 12^th January 2025 – NSA Stirling

Very well done to the DWPC U/15 girls team who have secured an excellent Bronze medal at the Scottish U/15 Girls Championships at the weekend.

Fielding 10 players of varying levels of experience, the team worked really hard in each of the 4 group games to have a win two (v Portobello and Aberdeen) and lose two (to Menzieshill and Warrender) record to qualify in 3^rd place to then play Menzieshill in the semi-final. Having lost 2-5 to the Dundee team in the Group stage this was always going to be a very difficult game but fair play to the girls as they worked tirelessly, defended and saved excellently and then attacked cleverly to force a 3-3 draw in a tense and exciting encounter to take the game into a penalty shoot out. Unfortunately, we missed two pens against a tall and commanding GK to lose the shootout 2-3. Congratulations to M’Hill on their win.

In the 3^rd place play-off we then played a young Portobello team where all of our younger and less experienced players enjoyed extended water time and contributed significantly to an 11-4 win. Throughout the afternoon, all girls made a positive contribution to this bronze medal achievement with every outfield player scoring at least 1 goal and attacked and defended with energy and determination.

Congratulations to Eve and Ava for winning the best GK and highest scorer in the tournament respectively. 

Finally, congratulations too to deserved winners Warrender who beat M’Hill (who were hampered by the loss of Kayla Reeve due to injury) 7-4 in the final.
