• Lot Description:
  1950 4th BRITISH EMPIRE GAMES IN AUCKLAND, Bronze 3rd Place Winner's Medal
  "British Empire Games/1950", engraved on reverse "WATER-POLO", in original presentation box.
• Notes:
  It would appear that this medal was prepared for a 3rd Place medal recipient. As only 2 teams competed in the inaugural British Empire Games water-polo competition - Australia and New Zealand, no 3rd place medals were required. Although recognised as a Commonwealth Games Federation sport, water polo has only featured in the Games once at the 1950 British Empire Games, where Australia won all three matches: 11-4, 13-2, 5-2. Water polo is acknowledged by the CGF as a sport for potential inclusion in future Games with further development in Commonwealth countries.
