UCD Men and Women went home with smiles on their faces from the Novice Water Polo Inter-Varsities after both teams were victorious.
The competition opened with a very tight encounter between the men's teams of UCD and NUIM in which the match ended all square.
Next up was UCD against DIT, this proved a convincing win for UCD winning out by 7 goals.
Then it was the turn of the Women, UCD v Trinity. The great sporting rivalry that exists between the two colleges continued, however UCD ended up winning out in the end.
With the Women's title wrapped up there was only one match left to decide the Men's Champions, NUIM v DIT, with NUIM having to win by more than 7 goals to take the title. In what was a very exciting finish to the tournament, NUIM were denied the title thanks to a late effort by DIT, which left NUIM winning the match by 6 goals instead of the required 7.
We also had two MVP awards to be given to the best performing Male and Female. The men's winner was NUIM's Marcus while the Female winner was UCD's Orla.
IUSWA would like to congratulate the Winners. We would also like to thank the colleges that fielded teams in what was a very successful tournament.
