Torneo Molins de Rei y Sant Feliu - Stage Greenwich Water Polo
En la pagina web del equipo americano del Greenwich Water Polo, equipo contra y con el que jugaron algunos de los cadetes de CE Mediterrani, ha publicado sus impresiones del pequeño torneo celebrado a finales de Junio:
Playing in the shining new C.N. Sant Feliu Club, Greenwich kept digging itself into holes in the two afternoon games. Against Girona, the GWP 16/under team quickly fell behind 3-0. A man-up goal by Baker, an inside shot by Julian Fraser off a rebound and a goal by Sean Lyons tied it up the game late in the second quarter. Baker opened the second half with the tying goal and Robert Peterson fired a perimeter shot to give the Greenwich team its first lead, 5-4. The lead was short lived and Girona quickly came back with two goals of its own to re-take the lead. After a man-up goal by Whelan on an assist by Joey Tambascio, the score was knotted for the fourth time in the game, 6-6. But Girona scored twice and Greenwich was unable to answer. So GWP tasted defeat its first defeat, 8-6.
Two hours later, GWP-A squared off for a re-match with Maresme and this time it dug a hole too deep to climb out of. Matthew Fraser did provide an early 1-0 lead. But Maresme scored six times in the half to take an insurmountable 6-1 lead. GWP-A fought back with goals from J Whelan, Matthew Fraser bringing the score to 6-5 but the game ended in a 7-5 defeat.
"At the very least, we proved that our GWP-A team was competitive with the local teams of Barcelona, the hub of water polo in Spain, and that our team is willing to fight to the end with a never-say-die spirit," said GWP Head Coach Terry Lowe.
In the early stages, the boys of Greenwich fell behind by one goal four times, but quickly responded each time to tie the game. James Baker, Sean Lyons, Robert Peterson started the scoring and then Matt Fraser took over to complete a “hat trick”. Playing in a 30-meter pool and with an 11-member squad vs. 18-member Spanish all-star team finally took its tolls. Despite 10 saves by Simon Tebbe the game ended in a 10-6 loss. "We did a much better job defensively and it was a hard fought match from beginning to end," said Coach Terry Lowe. "We really gave them a battle and have already greatly improved our play in the more physical and quicker play by the Spaniards," said Lowe. "I am really proud of the way our team has responded to the challenge."
The GWP-B team, defensively really stood their ground. Michaud was great in the goal and overall they did a super job in holding the opposition to six goals in a 6-3 loss. Austin Bridges scored the first goal for GWP. Jack Robinson lobbed in the second goal. Alex Lewis made a good inside move to earn a five-meter penalty shot ... which Bridges nailed it to make it 4-3.
