Huge congratulations to our U15 boys, who finished as runners-up and proudly brought home the silver medal from the U15 National Age Groups Championship.
The team went into the final unbeaten after an outstanding tournament campaign, recording impressive victories over Croydon (10-5), Lewisham (10-2), Newton Abbot (9-0), Sedgefield (6-4) and Rari Nantes (13-4). Their performances throughout the competition showcased the hard work and quality this group has developed.
Heading into the final full of confidence, Manchester faced a strong Watford side. Unfortunately it proved to be a difficult final and Watford secured the title with a 16-6 victory.
While the result was not the fairytale ending the boys hoped for, they should be incredibly proud of what they achieved. This group has worked hard and has grown into a close-knit team both in and out of the pool. Reaching a national final and taking home silver is a fantastic accomplishment, and the experience will only help them develop greater resilience as they continue their water polo journey.
A special mention goes to Caelan, who was deservedly named Best Goalkeeper of the Tournament after a series of outstanding performances throughout the weekend.
We are immensely proud of every player and everything they have achieved. A big thank you also goes to all the parents and supporters who cheered the team on throughout the competition, as well as Coach Seb, Assistant Coach Ian and Team Manager Beth for their commitment and support.
Silver medals around their necks, valuable lessons learned, and a bright future ahead. Well done lads, we’re incredibly proud of you all!
