 2018: 'Matthew has been a key asset to the Firsts water polo team over the last two Premiership winning seasons. As the team’s leading scorer, Matthew used his experience and skill set to our advantage in every match. Matthew rightfully received the prestigious Player’s Player award as voted by his teammates. I would like to commend Matthew on his commitment and dedication throughout the Summer including the Trans Tasman tour. All the best to Matthew in future water polo endeavours.' 2017: 'Matthew was a deserved winner of the Most Valuable Player Award after showing his class throughout the season. A skillful player, he both excelled individually and as a team member. He always lifted the level of those training and playing around him. Matthew will continue to develop in to an elite Water Polo athlete and will be an important member of the Newington Water Polo Program next season. Matthew has thoroughly deserved his selection in the Combined AAGPS, NSWCIS and NSW All Schools teams and we hope he continues to push for further representative honours in the future.'
