Tournament.

Ms Magann coached and captained the winning team in a national water polo tournament in Albury earlier this year.

At Albury, Libby’s NSW Country team was unbeaten throughout the Australian Country Water Polo Championships, defeating the Australian Defence Force team 14-6 in the final.

Ms Magann, who now works at the University of New England, has received sponsorship from Sport UNE and Armidale Dumaresq Council to help her compete in the Hawaiian tournament as a member of the Australian Country team.

“I’m excited to be representing Australia in the Country team for the seventh year altogether and for the third year in Hawaii,” she said.

The Hawaiian Invitational Tournament, from August 9-15, is the world’s largest and longest-running international invitational water polo tournament, with more than 100 teams from around the world competing.
