All the teams played great this weekend. 18 Blue tied a very tough Mad Dog Red, despite not having a goalie. Currently they are 2-1-1. 18 Gold came storming back only to fall by 1 goal to Mad Dog White. Currently they are 0-4. 16 Blue & 16 Gold worked very hard against bigger/stronger opponents. 16 Blue is 1-3 & 16 Gold is still trying to find that elusive win at 0-4. SLAP U14 played their best game of the season going 0-0 after the first quarter, down 2-1 at half & then only down 5-3 going into the final quarter. Great job. Currently they are 0-4. The SLAP 93 team played incredible press defense & countered hard in back to back games against Flyer A & JCWP Brown to go 2-0 on the day. Currently they are 4-1. The 2nd order for team suits was placed earlier this week. They should arrive in time for the 1/28 games. Everyone should have received their SLAP fleece winter beanie. If you haven't please email Coach Miguel. Finally, the SLAP dry-fit t-shirts are available for purchase for players, parents & fans. They are $25 (checks payable to Clayton Water Polo).
