The Byron Bay Bull Sharks women’s water polo team are back in the water and ready to defend their championship title.
The season got off to a good start when they had a 14–4 win over in the Alstonville Axalotls in the first round of the season earlier this month.
But they couldn’t back it up in the second round when they went down to the Ballina Chooks 11–6 at the Ballina Pool.
‘It’s good to be back in the water and to have the team back. It’s most of the old team plus a couple of new players,’ said captain Kerry Hardey.
‘We have a pretty strong team, even with the new players, we know each other pretty well’.
But the side is still in need of new recruits as they had to play the first game of the season without a reserve bench. Playing other teams who have two or three fresh players ready to go, gives away too much of an advantage.
The competition runs across summer at three pools: Ballina, Mullumbimby and Alstonville.
