Late Graeme ‘Dopie’ Bowler
Another stalwart of Masters and Old Eds waterpolo has joined the team in the sky.
Graeme – affectionately known as Dopie passed away from a heart attack on 23 July 2022.
RIP Graeme.
Late Bruce Wolov
Sadly Bruce was taken by a great white whilst swimming at Plett on 28 June 2022 and unfortunately he did not survive the attack. He was an avid waterpolo player who played for Wanderers and then Wahoo. In addition, he was also a guy who loved his swimming and would always try and get in the extra game or do some extra lengths swimming. His enthusiasm, jovial personality and always wanting-to-play-a-game will be missed by all.
On behalf of all the SA Masters Waterpolo players we express our deepest sympathies to Bruce’s family and friends.
RIP dear friend
Late Gavin Robertson
