May 9, 2017

A team of 13 British water polo players has been selected to compete in the LEN European Junior Water Polo Championships Qualification Tournament, taking place in Manchester from the 11-14 May.

The tournament is being held at East Manchester Leisure Centre and will see the GB men’s U17 squad take on Romania, Lithuania, Ukraine and Israel in Group C.

The British team are in good form, and follows a successful EU Nations Cup campaign for England who finished second in Brno, Czech Republic.

This is the first international water polo competition to take place in Britain since the final of the Commonwealth Championship in 2014.

City of Sheffield’s Connor Carpenter, who recently won the National Age Group Water Polo Championships U17s title in Manchester, will be captain of the British team.

He was also named MVP as North East Steelers won February’s U18 Inter-Regional Championships and captained the England team which competed in Brno. Vice-captain will be City of Manchester’s Jos Winstanley.
