MEREWETHER'S Richie Campbell scored the equaliser but it was not enough for Australia to beat Montenegro and seal a place in the men's water polo quarter-finals in Beijing yesterday.

Needing to win their final pool match to advance to the top eight, they drew 5-5.

At his first Olympics, Campbell finished with three goals.

"To miss out by that small chance is just really frustrating. We had big expectations at this tournament, so it's really frustrating," he said.
