Brazil inflict 29-5 trouncing on TT in water polo

In the first game on Wednesday evening at the National Aquatic Centre in Couva, Argentina defeated Canada 9-8 in a thrilling battle, leaving both teams with a win and a loss apiece after two matches. In the second matchup on the night, it was Brazil who were the dominant force in the pool. However, Brazil found out that it was not as easy as Canada made it look in the first game against TT (Canada romped to a 35-1 win on Tuesday).

Brazil held a 6-3 advantage at the end of the first quarter, but physical fitness proved to be vital as the national team succumbed to their opponents in the latter quarters 7-1, 7-0, 8-1.

Leading the scoreboard for the local team were captain Kris Thomas and Daniel Alvarez, both scoring twice, while Leon Daniel getting the other.

The excitement continues at the Aquatic Centre today at 6pm, with the finals taking place at 11 am tomorrow. Admission is $30 for adults and $20 for children 16 years and under.
