Welcome to our November England Water Polo Club News - November 1, 2022
Welcome to our November Water Polo News. It has been another busy month with many teams involved in BWPL action as well as other tournaments and competitions. We do our best to capture as many events as we can but if your club is involved in an event or special project do let us know (see details at the end).
City of Manchester Men’s First Team made an impressive start to the defence of their BWPL Division I title beating last year’s runners up, Cheltenham, 11-7. However, the tables were turned the next day when the team suffered a rare and shock defeat to Polytechnic. City of Manchester were ahead at the start of quarter 4 but Polytechnic played exceptionally well and took the match 10-9.
