Worthing ends season with good performance

WORTHING'S young water polo players travelled to the final tournament at the deep water pool at Whitgift School, South Croydon knowing they faced two tough matches..

Match 1.

Worthing 10, Sevenoaks 1.

This was a good win against an inexperienced opposition who struggled to deal with Worthing's attacking play.

Worthing dominated throughout and scored a number of good goals with five of the squad finding the back of the net.

Scorers; - Olly Rainford 3, Ben Goddard 3, Joe Hazeldine 2, Laura Joseph 1, Karen Chan 1.

Exclusions; - None.

Match 2.

Worthing 3, Hythe 4.

This was an exciting match to finish the programme in this summer's championship and with a little more luck we could have won.

The lead changed hands on several occasions and we played our part in an exciting match that Worthing was a little unfortunate not to take something from.

Scorers; - Joe Hazeldine 1, Laura Joseph 1, Olly Rainford 1.

Exclusion; - Karen Chan 1.

Squad in full; - Sam Wildman, Henry Jackson, Callum Craven, Olly Rainford, Laura Joseph, Tara Osborne, Karen Chan, Joe Hazeldine & Ben Goddard,

"This was a satisfactory end to our participation in this championship and all the squad continue to improve as a result of playing more competitive matches.

"We hope that the team will continue to make progress when the Winter league program commences later in the year," said coach Alastair Roberts.
