BARBADOS’ UNDER-19 boys’ water polo team drew their first match against Lamar High School at the start of the Darren Eastmond Barbados Invitational Tournament last Thursday night.
In a thrilling match at the Aquatic Centre, the local boys were up by two goals with two minutes remaining. However, holding on proved to be too much, as they seemed to lose focus.
That was all the opportunity the visitors needed, and as the final whistle blew, they levelled things to end with a 9-9 draw.
The Under-19 girls were not as fortunate as their male counterparts and conceded defeat to the defending champions, 9-2. However, the Under-16 mixed team were more resilient and fought hard to emerge 6-4 victors in their match. (RA)
