10 of the 12 medals won will be making their way to the City of Sails, with North Harbour and Atlantis topping the medal tally with 3 each. The event marks the end of a long season for our Under 14 teams, which began back in June with New Zealand Water Polo’s flagship event, the Pan Pacific Youth Water Polo Festival.
