Mexico with 1690.50. Trinidad
and Tobago placed third with
641 points while Panama

17th on 76 points; Grenada,
22nd on 39 points; St. Lucia,

“The intensity and the
application were there. They
have a lot of promise, both the
older group and the younger
group but it is just dealing
with the technical and the
fitness side. Playing here only
is a challenge because you only
get as good as the best man on
your team, so you don’t ever
get better. We need a schools
water polo programme.”
