UNDERWATER HOCKEY
It was a cracking Monday night for the Mackay Underwater Hockey Club, with 17 players diving in for a full-team showdown packed with rolling subs and non-stop action. With strong numbers in the pool, the energy was high, the water lively, and the competition fierce—but one side proved unstoppable.
In what could only be described as a clear violation of the club’s own unofficial league rulebook, Boyd, Elsie, and Macca somehow ended up on the same team. Individually, they’re forces of nature—fast, tactical, and technically gifted. But together? It was as if they were running a group chat through their snorkels. Their communication and positional synergy were exceptional, executing plays with near-telepathic precision. It set a new benchmark for skill and teamwork, and let’s just say... it won’t be allowed to happen again.
The blue team didn’t just ride the wave of that powerhouse trio—strong contributions came from Andrew, Isabelle, and the returning Todd, who looked sharp and confident after time away from the game. Their collective effort secured a well-earned victory.
On the other side of the pool, the white team refused to back down. With determination, hustle, and a steady stream of tactical insight from Sophie (shared mid-match between goals), they stayed competitive and kept the pressure on throughout.
Win or lose, the real highlight of the night was the atmosphere. Laughter echoed louder than splash-outs, and post-game smiles told the full story. With this kind of turnout and camaraderie, the future of the Mackay Underwater Hockey Club is looking bright—and buoyant.
