The grand finale was a water polo match. The match was enjoyed by all the participants, as well as their families and friends who had come to support them.
The spirit and energy shown by all the participants at the event was very encouraging. We will be making the swimming meet a regular event in the OG Calendar, with the aim of working towards a swimming gala for OGS, KGS and families!
The winners of the meet were once again Streeton! Streeton was on a roll and have amassed a handsome lead in the race for the OGS Cockhouse. The runner-up house was Frere.
