Maranui held out the Magic throughout the first half leading 6-5 at the break. And it took the end of the third quarter before Marist hit the lead at 7-6. They hung on grinly against a Maranui side reduced by the end of the 4th quarter to just 7 players to win 10-8. Maranui grabbed a very valuable bonus point in the run into the next stage of games. Phil Howat proved a saviour for the Magic with 4 goals whilst Lachie Tijsen marked his return to first class water polo after a long lay off due to injury with a 3 goal bag for the Mudcrabs. |
