And now for some good news! - March 31, 2020
Welcome to the April edition of the Water Polo News. Who would have thought at the start of the month that all water polo activities would be cancelled due to Covid-19? Never-the-less the first part of the month was extremely busy and we set out the highlights below.
The big news is that City of Manchester are champions of both the Men’s and Women’s Super Fives Championship. They are the first club to win both titles in the same year. That both teams were unbeaten shows the amazing strength of the teams. Hats off to you all; an amazing achievement!

Looking forward to the summer when hopefully we will be out of the worst of the lockdown, ManUp have announced their summer dates. These events provide a great opportunity for clubs to compete outside in iconic venues. Further details will follow. Previous events have been well attended and the teams have played some excellent water polo.
Well that’s it for this month. Keep up your training from home – remember that there will come a time when you can get back in the water and play the sport you love. In the meantime continue to train hard. Clubs are doing some really innovative and fun things using social media to facilitate group training.
We hope you have found this month’s report of interest. We aim to showcase what has been going on in English Water Polo clubs over the last month and flag up forthcoming events. Given that we are going to have a slack few months we would like to showcase clubs. If you have any news that you would like to share about your club please contact me at ah@waterpoloengland.org
