Triton Water Polo Club

Triton Water Polo Club was established in 1963 through the efforts of Cliff Hill, Jack Hausen, Frank Hamilton and Bill Wallace and we have been based at Beatty Park since foundation. Season 1963/64 was the clubs first and we started with a single D grade men’s side.

In 1965/66 after just two years in the competition, Triton won its first premiership in the D grade men’s competition. In 68/69 we entered the A grade competition winning our opening game, however this remained our only success in that first year.

In 1970/71 Les Nunn took control of the A grade team and just 3 years later, only 5 years since the move into A grade competition, Triton won the premiership. The 1970’s were extremely successful years for Triton with the A grade men winning the title for five consecutive years and with Les Nunn, Eddie Brooks, Paul Williams and Richard Pengelley representing Australia during this time.
