Report

St. Vincent’s of Glasnevin, Dublin, were the dominant team in Irish Women’s Water Polo from 2016-17 to 2018-19, winning all their league matches every year, indeed their B team, promoted at the end of 2016-17 from Division 2 proved even more formidable than their A team, having won all matches in Division 2 in 2016-17 they proceeded to win all their games in Division 1 in 2017-18, including their A team, defending Champions, twice. With the teams shuffled around for 2018-19 and one of the St. Vincent’s teams back in Division 2, they again won all games that year.

St. Vincent’s were finally defeated in 2019-20, in their fifth game of the season, 9-10 by Clontarf, although held an advantage over Clontarf of a 9-0-1 Wins-Draws-Losses Record to Clontarf’s 4-0-2 Record when the League was cancelled due to COVID-19 Coronavirus Pandemic government restrictions. The winning streak lasted 40 games over 3 and a third years, including the B teams’ dominance of 2017-18, although technically they were separate teams, albeit from the same club.

Report

At the Halfway Stage in the Irish Water Polo Association National League Division 1 Women in 2008-09 Cathal Brugha from Belfast were out in front with a maximum 15 points from 5 games. Half Moon from Sandymount in Dublin were second, also on 15 points but having played a game more, a 6-7 loss to St. Vincent’s (Glasnevin, Dublin) who were third with 9 points from 5 games, two losses coming against Cathal Brugha and Donegall Diamonds, another Belfast team. Donegall Diamonds had 12 points from 7 matches, with losses to Cathal Brugha (twice) and Half Moon meaning they were in need of other results going their way to have a chance of winning the title. Glenalbyn had lost all seven matches.
