The first WAA Underwater hockey world championships have just been completed in Durban South Africa.

It was a significant milestone in the evolution of our sport. For the first time in the sports history all 5 divisions being, Open Elite, Women’s Elite, Open Masters, Junior Boys and Junior Girls was won by different countries.
The tournament was excellently run by Underwater Hockey South Africa and over 2000 people watched the games free and live on 24/7 TV. It was the first time that teams from Spain and Namibia had competed, it was also the first time that the Nederland’s had entered the master’s competition and Colombia had entered the junior competition.
Tournament Director Graham Henderson said, “It was a groundbreaking competition with all the categories being contested so vigorously and with so many matches that were so close”.

In another first match replays can be purchased from the 24/7 website in DivX format which is close to DVD quality.
The next WAA world Championships will be held in Medellin Colombia in 2010 in late July; further information will be available on the official WAA site as it comes to hand.
