24/05/2008	09:46	INCAS WATER POLO	Menzieshill Whitehall V InCAS Monday 18th May InCAS latest game in the Water polo League was a Monday night visit to Dundee. The match promised to be tough and Menzieshill proved their point going ahead early in the first quarter. The away team rallied after that and leading from the front, Captain, Darren Campbell made the score at 1-1 at the end of the first. In the second period, InCAS continued to apply pressure and good finishing from Darren (2) and Chris Campbell (1) saw the home side punished. Menzieshill applied a lot of pressure in the third period creating a number of opportunities before forcing a penalty which was saved by Darren. Breakaways from Neil Vidler and Edward Haroun, in his return game, were eventually rewarded with Edward scoring late on to take the game into the fourth quarter with InCAS in a comfortable 5-1 lead. The superior fitness of the away team showed in the final period, Menzieshill created little while Darren and Chris Campbell added one a piece before Daniel Woodall tied up the game, 8-1 to InCAS.
