The Torpedoes U13s (players born 2000 or later) team and parents headed south down the A12 last night to play our Eastern Water Polo League fixture against Colchester.   If the game had been decided on just the 2^nd quarter I would have been writing about a victory but alas the game is played over four quarters.  Colchester started strongly in the 1^st quarter taking a 4-0 lead. The first goal in the 2^nd quarter brought a cheer from the Torpedoes parents as Billy scored our first goal. Colchester responded scoring twice then Nathan and Kate both scored to bring the score to 6-3 at half time.  Unfortunately no more goals for Torpedoes in the match, Colchester scored 8 more goals despite the valiant efforts of Erin and Billy in the Torpedoes goal to secure a comfortable victory.  For many of the younger players this was valuable match experience and from the looks of their smiles they all enjoyed it.  For those interested in the stats here is the match sheet. 16th Mar u13s Colchester v SCT
