The Super five teams played their first matches at the splendid Aldershot Garrison sports pool. There was a shock defeat for the reigning Super 5 women’s champions when City of Manchester were defeated by Liverpool Lizzards thus bringing to an end Manchester’s amazing record of 26 matches without loss.
Great to see Penguin Emperors starting their BWPL campaign in Championship 2 with three wins from three. Well done ladies!

Watford U12s have been in action in the Winter League this month travelling to Chelmsford. For 8 members of the squad this was their first ever water polo match. They played three matches against tough opposition and did very well winning won one match and coming second in the other two. A great outing for a young team. Can’t wait to follow their progress.

Finally, we would like to congratulate Colin Walsh on being appointed President of the English Schools Swimming Association. Colin will be very well known to many of our readers as a Team Manager for various GB squads and City of Manchester Hawks. He also runs the pool deck for many tournaments. He has been with ESSA for over 21 years and well deserves this accolade. Thank you Colin for all you do for our sport!
