The Under 16 Division 2 girls took silver in an all Marist final that saw Marist White beat Marist Black. And the Under 16 Girls Red team took out the bronze medal in the Under 16 Girls Division 1 play offs. The Under 18 Womens final was a nerve-racking affair against North Harbour with the scores locked at 3all before Marist Red took the winning goal in extra time to take the title 4-3 . Marist Blue came in 4th losing to Waitakere in the bronze medal match. The Under 16 Boys Red team took the Division 1 title beating North Harbour A 8-4 in the final after getting off to a flying start at 4-0 up. And Marist Blue pushed Waitakere Gold hard for the bronze medal before going down 4-6 to the West Aucklanders. The depth with the Under 16 section of the club was evident with both Under 16 Division 2 titles going Marist's way. The U16 Boys White team beat North Harbour C in overtime whilst the U16 Girls White team came from behind to beat the Marist Black team in the U16 Girls Division 2 final. A great day for these girls!!. ...C.Hayward

21.09.2009 With the U16 National Championships from 7th – 10th October the season for most competitive club teams will be over. Only the U14 club programme will still be actively preparing for their Nationals in December.

However, numerous players will represent New Zealand at various occasions towards the end of the year. To keep (or get) them in shape the Water Polo Institute are looking at introducing a 9 week training program that commences from October 12th until December 18th providing 6.5 hours per week of quality training under the supervision of Head Coach Kurt Goldsworthy and various Senior players to the participants. The programme is also open to Marist players that wish to prepare for the 2010 and National League. .... more info
