IHG Waterpolo Prelims by Chua Yuan Pin

SRC Swimming Pool, NTU

Hall 2 Water Polo won with a convincing score line of 19-2 against Hall 15 for the first preliminary round of the IHG season. The legendary SEA-games gold medallist, Toh Zhi Hong, was a beast in the pool. Not satisfied with simply scoring routine goals, he set a personal goal of trying to head the ball in. The effort was close but the ball rolled off the post and the keeper pushed it out. Before he could try his overhead kick, he was taken out of the match for fear of the opponent team giving up and leaving the pool before the time was up. 
In the team of 13 selected, majority of the players were new to this sport. However, their performance in the pool was of no novice level. Several of the goals were scored by Myran and Yuan Song. A special mention goes out to the amazing Kor Kiat Yao, who scored a new personal best of 3 goals in this match. He will no doubt be scoring another hat trick in his room.

The Water Polo team would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the supporters that came down. Despite the utter dominance of this match, it would not have been possible without the loud cheers from the sides.
