With the Paris Olympics only months away, and coveted spots in the Australian Stingers and Sharks teams up for grabs, it is not just about winning an AWL crown for the nation’s top players.
Water Polo Australia chief executive officer Tim Welsford said would be a massive year for the sport.
“Our clubs share a longstanding rivalry that will see mate versus mate, state versus state, all culminating in the Australian Waterpolo League finals to be held in Sydney in April,” Welsford said.
“Throughout the tournament, some of our Ord Minnett Aussie Sharks and Aussie Stingers will also be joining their home teams, as they look to put it all on the line for their club as well as to impress Australian team selectors on the countdown to Paris.”
Victoria will play host to the KOmmunityTV double header in round two, with Victorian Phoenix taking on ACU Cronulla on February 10.
Reigning men’s champions UNSW Wests will have to wait until March before they get their first slice of the action when they head to Perth for a massive double header against the Fremantle Marlins.
The final round of the regular season will see Queensland Thunder host the Marlins in a women’s bronze medal rematch on April 14.
