The DUWR Challenge will consist of a progressive, 4 week training program, ending with the competition on the fourth week in the deep pool at Homebush.

MATCH REPORT

The Early Birds and the Night Owls flocked to the pool on Sunday for the second ever Down Under Water Rugby Challenge. Despite a few hangovers scattered among the Night Owls, they prowled the pool to win the first half of the game 7 – 1. The Early Birds were quick to peck back, drawing 3 – 3 in the second half. During bonus time, the Night Owls ruled the roost, bringing home a strong win at Sydney Olympic Pool. Best and fairest will be announced soon. Stay tuned for the next DUWRC in August 2010.
