What to expect at the 2017 U15 Champs
The Water Polo U15 Championships are much the same as any other water polo competition. Water polo is known for being fiercely contested, with team rivalries unlike any other aquatics sport.
The 2016 titles went to City of Manchester in the boys’ event and London Otter in the girls’ competition. Both of these teams will have their sights set on retaining their titles.
City of Sheffield, Caledonia, Watford, Ealing and Sedgefield will be gunning for the boys’ title, after impressive performances last year.
In the girls’ competition, Otter will face some hungry rivals. Newton Abbot, City of Liverpool and Tyldesley made their way into the semi-finals in 2016, and will be hoping to improve on their placing.
