GBR secure 3rd place in Manchester LEN Qualifying tournament - May 14, 2017
Great Britain finished their European Qualifying campaign in third place after a battling 13-9 (4-2, 2-1, 3-3, 4-3) defeat to Romania on Sunday morning.
Throughout this tournament, GB showed clear signs of improvement and in their final match they continually frustrated a powerful Romanian side as they fought to the very end.
Organised in defence and quick on the counter, GB were unfortunate to be 6-3 down at half-time.
Ultimately, the Romanians proved too strong and ran out 13-9 winners to qualify alongside second placed Ukraine, but this young GB team delivered another fantastic performance and the passionate home crowd left knowing there’s a bright future ahead for our sport.
Another huge thank you to all the volunteers who helped organise such a successful international water polo tournament at East Manchester Leisure Centre. Plus a massive shout out to all the players, coaches, officials and fans for helping to create such a carnival atmosphere!
What an amazing four days of water polo!
