What a fantastic couple of weeks at the Australian Youth Water Polo Championships in Brisbane.

14&U Boys – Green (Week 1)
Undefeated through rounds and early crossovers before falling in the Semi Final and Bronze match.
3rd straight Top 4 finish, 7–0–2
14&U Girls – Green (Week 1) with @dwpcdevils
An up and down week with some great wins and tough losses, 5–0–3
16&U Girls – Green (Week 2)
16&U Girls A mixed group from Nordek, Vikings & Dragons who kept fighting all week, 1–1–6
16&U Girls – Gold (Week 2)
Tough round games, but strong improvement into crossovers, 2–0–5
16&U Boys – Gold (Canberra Krakens)
A strong showing from a combined ACT side, finishing Top 8, 4–0–3
18&U Boys – Gold (Week 1)
Close games throughout, pushing some top teams despite injuries, 2–0–6
18&U Girls – Gold (Week 1)
A tough week with some tight contests against strong opposition, 1–1–6
18&U Girls – Green (Week 1)
Young group that kept showing up and finished strong, 1–2–5
Huge thank you to all players, coaches, managers, parents and supporters who made the tournament possible — a massive team effort.
We also had a number of Nordek athletes representing other clubs across the two weeks — great to see them competing and contributing across the competition
Already looking forward to 2027!
AYWPC – CONGRATULATIONS TO ALEKS & DOUG LAWRENCE
A special shoutout to our Nordek father & son duo, Aleks & Doug Lawrence, who had a stellar week 2 at the Australian Youth Water Polo Championships
Competing with @centralcoastwpc in the 12&U Green Division:
Gold Medalists, Top of the ladder, Aleks finishing as top scorer.
Doug led the side as coach, guiding the team to a Gold medal, while Aleks played a huge role in the pool all week
Awesome achievement from both — great to see Nordek represented!
