2012 National League Action kicks off Jan 27th - HOME OPENER vs Sydney Uni
(Jan 17, 2012) Get excited folks - its another season of National League about to begin and our Barracudas Men and Women take aim at the national titles. Our women, three-time defending champs, will be tested as clubs around Australia aim to remove us from the top spot. However once again our 2012 Women's Roster is looking fantastic with a well balanced mix of youth and experience. The 2012 Barracudas Men are equally vying for top spot this year, building on their impressive break through into the top 4 last season. With newest recruit Billy Miller in the line up, American imports Kyle Kruip and Matt Johnson, and the return of the core group all led by captain Rhys Howden, the Barras Bad Lads (as they like to call themselves), are looking ominous and keen to make a statement. Dont miss the 2012 home opener Friday January 27th at Musgrave - as our Barras teams face off against top ranked Sydney University Lions. Women's game starts to 6:30pm and Men at 8:00pm. All Barracudas Juniors get free entry at the door if you are wearing your club shirt! Come down and watch some the finest players in the nation and the world on display!

PanPacific Champs Aussie Women Gold and Men Silver
(Jan 14, 2012) After a week long tournament featuring the top teams from the Pan American nations, it was an Australia versus America affair in both the men and women's finals at the Pan Pacific Champs in Melbourne. In the women, the Aussie Stingers found fantastic form and notched their first major international defeat of the USA since the 2000 Sydney Olympic with a 7-4 win in the Grand Final. Barracudas Mel Rippon, Kate Gynther, Kelsey Wakefield and Ash Southern now all return home with a well earned Gold medal. On the men's side, Australia was defeated by the USA in extra time 11-10! After drawing with the Americans in the rounds the Aussie Sharks were keen to show 2008 Olympic Silver medallists their fighting spirit. The USA led at half time and three quarter time but the fourth quarter demonstrated the Aussie fight with the men pulling level to take it to over time. The result is exciting with the Olympics fast approach and Australia sets its sights on medals. Barras Rhys Howden and Billy Miller were part of the Aussie force. Congrats to all our Barras players who participated in the tournament including the Barbarians representatives Dan Young, BJ Howden, Jane Moran and Bronte Colenso.

Bronze, Silver and GOLD for Barracudas at U18 State Champs!!!
Club sweeps MVP awards!
(Dec 4, 2011) Our Barracudas teams brought home a medal of each colour this weekend following the conclusion of the U18 State Championships held at the Valley Pool. Our girls team faced off in a remarkable Grand Final that took three quarters of water polo for a team to break the deadlock (scores were locked at 1-1 at 3 quarter time) with the Sunshine Coast hanging on by the narrowest of margins for the 3 - 2 win. Emma Williams was sensational in goals for her side and the younger Barracudas players really stepped up to keep the pressure on a fine tuned Sunny Coast team. On the boys side, the Cudas definitively ousted River City 16 - 2 for Bronze and the Barras continued their undefeated run and defended their State title by downing Alstonville 9-3. A plucky Alstonville held the Barras boys 2 - 2 early with the 30m pool and harsh chlorine playing a bit on an impact on the boys - but the team rallied and pulled into a commanding lead to take the Gold. A whole of team effort with goals spread evenly over the roster is a key factor in the win and the sensational run through the tournament. The icing on the cake - Barracudas players swept all the major individual award with Megan DuToit and Callum Smith earning top honours as MVPs for the girls and boys respectively while Barracudas goalkeepers Emma Williams and Reed Douyere-Pate took out the MVG awards! Well done to all our Barracudas players on great results across the board.
