Bede’s College B and St Andrew’s College. In the play-offs, College won their quarter-final match over SBHS B by 17–2. The semi-final match – a narrow loss to CBHS by 5–8 – was followed by a very tight double penalty shoot-out loss of 14–15 to Burnside High School to claim 4th. This term, the senior team played only four of the six rounds in their competition before it was interrupted. The team had a 15–3 win over St Bede’s Development and a 13–3 win over CBHS, before losing to a very impressive St Bede’s A side. Matches against StAC and Burnside were not played. College water polo players Jacob Clements and Moe Gath, plus recent Old Boy Louis Clark, were recognised at the Canterbury Water Polo 2019 prize-giving. Jacob picked up the award for U14 boys Most Valuable Player, while Moe took U16 boys Most Valuable Player and U18 boys most improved, and Louis was awarded the U21 Most Valuable Player and Southern Cross Player of the Year. Jacob and Sam Chittock were members of the Canterbury U14 team that took silver at nationals.
