18 July: NZ Youth Women score a historic win over Hungary U17 Girls in Dunaujvaros last night beating the highly favoured Europeans 11-10. The team consists of 8 North Harbour girls Olivia Murphy, Rebecca Parkes, Nina Lala, Sarah Landry, Chelsea Geary, Caitlin Lopes da Silva, Pinky Rewi Henry and Lisa Tuke who all played important roles within the win and spent a majority of the time in the pool. The game was very aggressive with many kickouts on both sides. The NZ girls have a couple of sprained fingers, bruised ribs, sore eyes and numerous bruises that showed they had played one of the top teams in the world within this age group.
The Harbour girls showed their ability to read each others minds and were quick to take up any errors caused by the Hungarian U17 girls. Great win for NZ but also a great win for North Harbour Water Polo club who have brought these girls through the programme to be where they are today.
The team will play a further test against Hungary tonight and then take on USA Youth Girls in a one test series before heading to Canada for a further test series.
