Welcome from the WPA President

Welcome to the 2018 Australian Waterpolo League Finals.

On behalf of the board of I would like to welcome all of the athletes, coaches, referees, volunteers and fans to the culmination of a successful and competitive season of .

This year’s AWL has seen some wonderfully close competition amongst some of the best athletes in the nation as they battle towards the title in Australia’s premier water polo competition. 2018 marks the 29th season of the AWL and we thank all of the clubs and the WPA team for making this possible.

This season has enjoyed some brilliantly innovative events and special round games captured thanks to our wonderful supporters at Ovo Mobile. We are appreciative of all of our sponsors and Club supporters who make the AWL possible and implore the water polo family to support those who support our sport.

I wish all of the teams a strong, competitive and good spirited 2018 Finals series.
