2 Sad News VALE Allan 'Charlo' Charles Charleston (10/2/ /3/2015) Dolphins Water Polo Club, Water Polo Australia and its community recently lost a stalwart of Water Polo, 81-year-old dual Olympian Allan Charleston. To this day the WA Masters community play their end of season games for the Allan Charleston Shield. Allan Charlo Charleston will be deeply missed by his family, friends and the Australian water polo community. Charlo represented Australia in Water Polo with aplomb in 22 Test matches, including at the 1956 Melbourne Olympic Games and again four years later at the 1960 Rome Olympics. Upon his debut in Melbourne, Charleston became the first Western Australian to play Water Polo at an Olympics. Charleston will be fondly remembered as one of the greatest Western Australians ever to play the game and represented his state proudly in more than 140 interstate games at 20 consecutive National Championships from He was also captain/coach on several occasions. In 1959, then joined by ex-hungarian Olympic gold medallist Anton Bolvari in the Western Australian team, Charleston helped WA to their first ever Australian Championships title and was named Player of the Series. He played for Fremantle, the Olympic Club and the Dolphins club of Perth, where he was also a very successful coach. Charleston was made a Life member of the WAAWPA in 1972 before being inducted into the WPA Hall of Fame in Out of the water Charlo was a much-loved member of the national, and particularly Western Australian, Water Polo community. Allan Charleston Allan Charleston Shield The annual end of season masters tournament for the Alan Charleston Shield was held on a sunny Sunday afternoon on 12 April. This was the first tournament held since Charlo s death and the Shield was awarded to Gus Powers team by Charlo s widow, Lorraine. After the tournament we celebrated his contributions to our sport and also remembered the passing of another much loved member of the masters community, Max Henson!
