Scotland U16 Girls at SE Inter-regions
The Scottish U16 Girls have returned home from Division 1 Inter Regions in Liverpool with a well earned bronze medal 🥉 👏
Hali Farah (Joint Captain), Molly Oswald, Ellie Thornton, Isla Edwards and Rosie Hookham joined their U16s NDS team mates.
The girls got off to a great start on Saturday, winning their 1st match 8-5 vs North East Steelers. This was followed by 2 more wins; 9-7 vs South West Sharks and 15-1 vs East Angels, meaning they topped their group 💪
This then set up a semi final vs South East on Sunday which finished 5-5 after normal time. Unfortunately the girls luck wasn't in on the penalties lottery, but still gave them the opportunity to compete for the bronze medal.
Their opponents were South West, a team they had previously beaten the day before. The girls took confidence from that result and finished their weekend off strong to come away 10-8 winners and bring the bronze back to Scotland 🔥 well done girls! 🙂

DWPC Summer Break and Summer Invitational Senior Pre-season training
DWPC Summer Break
Summer Invitational Senior Pre-season training - 21 to 30 Jul
DWPC will take a 2 week break from WP training and the following sessions will be cancelled 7. 9, 14 and 16 July.
Pre-season sessions pool time will be booked 8pm to 9-30pm on 21.23, 28 and 30 July. Focus will be on individual skills, fitness and techniques so suitable to male and female athletes and the target group will be those who attend the Thur nights senior session, ie older teenagers and seniors.
Club fees do not cover July waterpolo pool hire so extra sessions will be self funded and thus it is hoped to invite at least 20 athletes to the training programme at £20 each (equates to £5 per session) payable to the club which will cover pool hire costs for these extra sessions.
Senior coaches will issue invitations.
U15B SN League – Menzieshill 11–16 Dunfermline Match Report
Our U15B side travelledd to Olympia to play Menzieshill on Tue 16 Jun for the return fixture after an exciting 16–16 draw back in November. With several squad members unavailable, our eight-player team faced a tough challenge against Menzieshill's 12-player squad. The message before the game was simple: focus and intensity.
The team responded brilliantly from the opening whistle. Toby made a flying start, scoring twice in the first minute to set the tone. Ben was outstanding at centre back, disrupting Menzieshill's centre forward, making several steals, and helping Dunfermline establish a 6–3 lead by the end of the first period.
The intensity continued into the second period, with Logan, Toby and Maks all finding the back of the net. Toby's work rate was particularly impressive, consistently swimming back to support the defence after attacking phases. The second half was always going to test our smaller squad, especially some of our younger players, but Danny, Mikhail and Natan all put in tremendous shifts. Their defensive marking, recovery swimming on turnovers, and overall game awareness were excellent throughout.
Holding a six-goal advantage going into the fourth period, the team switched to a more defensive setup. Toby again led by example at centre back, while Billy controlled the tempo of the game and produced several excellent saves to keep Menzieshill at bay.
Period scores: 3-6, 3-5, 2-3, 3-2: Final score 11 - 16
Overall, the team delivered exactly what was asked of them, maintaining their focus and intensity from start to finish. The red faces at the final whistle showed just how much effort everyone had put in. It was a fantastic way to close out our U15 campaign, and every player should be extremely proud of what they have achieved this season.
Team list (goals): Billy, Logan (3), Toby (7), Maks (5), Natan (1), Mikhail, Danny, Ben.
