Looking forward to the arrival of the Aussie Schools! - November 22, 2018
We are very pleased to announce that the Australian Schools Water Polo boys and girls teams will be arriving in the UK on December 5th for an action packed 11 day tour, organised by the English Schools Swimming Association (ESSA). During their time in England, the Aussies will be criss-crossing the country playing against a range of English opposition.
One of the highlights of their tour will take place in Manchester at the East Manchester Leisure Centre, and at the Jason Kenny Centre in Bolton over 3 days, Friday 7th Dec to Sunday 9th Dec, when the Australians will be joined by the England Boys and Girls teams, and the Romanian Boys team for an international tournament. Given the long history of Australian success in international water polo we can expect the competition to be a stern test for our England teams as they build towards their LEN European Competitions in 2019.
To help you plan when and where to watch our visitors in action, here is the outline match schedule which ESSA has supplied to us. Please note that the itinerary is subject to change.
