Watch Australian water polo league final series replays, All Star team, results, season wrap

Just one man and two woman from outside the finals series have made the Australian Water Polo League All-Star teams. Stars, AWL wrap and link to watch replays of the finals series.

Just one male and two female players from a team outside the Australian water polo league top four have made it into the All-Star teams at the conclusion of the 2023 season.

And two of these players hail from the same club.

UTS Balmain Tigers duo Daniel Lawrence and club mate Genevieve Longman were both named in the All-Star team at the end of the AWL season which came to a close on Sunday at Sydney Olympic Park.

Every other male and female member of the all star team bar Danijela Jackovich was in one of the four clubs competing in the finals series to determine the men’s and women’s winners and also being used by selectors to gauge form and fitness ahead of the world chanpionships later this year and Paris Olympics in 2024.

UNSW Wests Magpies were rewarded for their AWL 2023 win with Nathan Power, Katsuyuki Tanamura and Seiya Adachi all named in the men’s All-Star team.
