Sedgefield Water Polo sent a mixed U14 team to The Edge, Leeds, for their league match on Sunday 12th May.
The game got off to a very quick start with Sedgefield leading by 5-3 at the end of the first quarter and 11-5 at half time. The final score was an impressive 16-6, with goals scored by Indie, Finley, Harry, Jasper, Thomas and Bram.
A special mention to parents Imelda and Morgan who kindly manned the table and kept the scores in order to allow the match to go ahead, and Sarah who provided team manager support to the opposition.
The young team are now looking forward to their away fixture against Morley at the end of this month, which will be more challenging due to less players being available over the half term holidays – however, the team are still confident that they can put what they are learning at training into practice in a competitive match.
We’d also like to advise that we can now offer player sponsorships for just £30 per player for this season in return for regular advertising and promotion on our social media pages. If this is something that your business may be interested in, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. All monies raised will be used to allow our fantastic members the opportunity to develop their skills and provide them with the equipment they need in order to succeed in the sport.
In addition to Junior and Senior sessions, Sedgefield Water Polo Club now offers a beginner session at Newton Aycliffe Leisure Centre on a Saturday afternoon for those wishing to try this fun and exciting sport.
