All in all it was a sordid affair, there were some laughs, some tears, and in the end i think everyone was too drunk to work out if there was a winner or not. Looks like we’re all winners. How trite is that?

Trials will be run during the regular Monday night training session at the South Yarra Sports Centre on *31 May 2010* – TONIGHT!!!

GIRLS: from 7:30pm

MEN: from 8:30pm

At the trials, we will be selecting a total of 8 players for each of the Men’s and Women’s teams. If you happen to miss out on the initial selection, we will be selecting a further 4 – 5 players for each team by the end of the Victorian Water Polo Winter Season (finals during the week ending 25 June 2010). The trials will consist of a mixture of skills, shooting and a full-court trial match. A selection committe will be established shortly in order to select the best team to represent the club and Melbourne University in Perth later in the year.

We understand that, for some of you, committing to the team this early might prove difficult. We do, however, urge you to come down to the trials regardless. We can always work out any logistical issues at a later date should they arise.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact either me on 0422 678 604, or Brett Laing on 0424 583 422. Also, if you know any players from other teams that are Melbourne University students, please forward this email onto them.

We look forward to seeing you all at the trials.
