| Name of player | School | Water Polo club(s) |

| Brett Takemoto | Carmel College | Bridgefield and City of Manchester |
| Callum Fookes (GK) | Chorlton High School | City of Manchester & Stretford |
| Charlie Brogan | Bournside | Cheltenham Water Polo Club |
| Christian Thompson | Manchester Grammar School | City of Manchester & Manchester Grammar School |
| Daniel Atkinson | Westcliff High School for Boys | Chelmsford & Invicta |
| George Jackson (GK) | South Axholme Academy | Rotherham Metro |
| Harry Gray | Dollar Academy | Caledonia & Dunfermline & Stirling |
| Krishan Kaushal | King Edwards School | Solihull & Camp Hill School |
| Luke Roche | Chorlton High School | City of Manchester & Stretford |
| Thomas Yates | Bolton School (Boys’ Division) | City of Manchester & Stretford & Bolton School |
| Toby Roberts | Whitgift | West London Penguins & Whitgift School |
| Tom Roche | Chorlton High School | City of Manchester & Stretford |
Head Coach: Phil Powell
Assistant Coaches: Lewis Daly & Rosie Morris, and Team Manager, Mike Yates.
In Manchester, the Great Britain U17 team will face Slovakia, Israel and France, with the top two teams qualifying for this year’s main LEN European Championship tournament.
A few interesting facts about the GBR U17 team; there are 3 athletes who are pupils from one school, Chorlton High School, which does not play water polo, 4 pupils all started their polo career at Stretford before joining CoM and for the 7th consecutive year a Bolton pupil has been selected to represent the Great Britain Men’s Junior water polo team in the European Championships – testament to the talent which is nurtured and developed by Andy McGinty and the commitment the boys put into training both at school and City of Manchester.
The three day Tournament at the Manchester Aquatic Centre is sure to be popular with spectators, and if you are planning to attend and cheer our lads to victory, please email ejmwpmanchester2019@gmail.com now to secure tickets and guarantee your seat for this very special event.
We look forward to being poolside May 3rd – 5th, and wish you all the very best of luck!
