Canoe Polo Finals 2002

With the end of the round robins the top four teams from each grade went through to the playoffs. The top two teams then went through to the finals. We combined all the finals into one evening of Polo
C grade had Bayfield High playing Otago Boys High OBIWAN.  In a reverse of last years result, the OBHS team came through to win 9 - 7 in a game that had the potential to go either way.
.
B grade finals were between Uni B Gold playing Team Rambo
Uni B Gold were the clear winners by 13 - 4
.
The two teams making the finals from A grade were Jus Bellum and the Canoodles. Jus Bellum pulled ahead in the second quarter and gained a lead that the Canoodles just could not pull back.
Jus Bellum were the winners by 13 - 6. They finished the season unbeaten to win for the second year in a row.
Most of the team members are leaving town before the next season so giving someone else a chance.
With the impressive performance shown by the Canoodles during the play offs they could be the ones to beat.
The finals were well supported with a good turnout of spectators to support al three grades. The following evening we had our end of season function and prize giving at Filidelfios so bringing the 2002 season to a close.
