12 & Under Water Polo Provincials
The Middlesex Water Polo 12U team traveled to Kitchener/Waterloo at the end of May for the 12U Provincial Championships, held at Laurier University. It marked the first provincials that Team Middlesex has competed in, and they more than held their own, finishing 5th in the eight-team field after posting a 3-2 win-loss record. Middlesex beat Hamilton, 15-5, in round robin play, and beat KW Red twice – once during the crossover (15-5) and again in the fifth-place game (11-7).
