Changes to Girls’ U19 Qualifiers

As a direct consequence of a number of water polo match cancellations across the country last weekend due to the severe weather, the U19 Girls competition of the Swim England Water Polo National Age Group Championships has also been affected.

Having consulted with the four clubs involved in the qualification round, the Swim England Management Group and the British Water Polo League (BWPL), a decision has been made to cancel the U19 Girls Qualification round to enable the BWPL Super 5s weekend to be rearranged for 17 – 18 March 2018.

All four teams will therefore progress straight to the Finals weekend due to take place at Manchester Aquatics Centre on 14 – 15 April 2018.

The two semi-finals on Saturday 14 April will be City of Manchester vs Rotherham and Otter vs City of Liverpool.
