Tonight is the end of season water polo celebration at Bolton School – and what a season it has been!
A team from the School recently became the best primary school water polo team in the North of England (pictured) – retaining the ESSA Cadet Northern Championship. The U15 girls became national champions in March and, later that month, the U18 girls followed suit when they became the best girls’ school water polo team in the country. The U13 girls were the second-best team in the country in their age group. The boys’ U18 team ended up fourth best team in the country in their age group, the U15 boys’ team won their competition in Northampton to retain the ESSA plate and the U13 boys reached the semi-final stage of the national ESSA competiton.
Players were involved on the international stage, with local talent centres and many represented the City of Manchester, winning national club championships (pictured). The younger girls teams enjoyed team-building, matches and training sessions in Malta in the Spring.
Looking towards the summer, we offer the very best of Bolton School luck to Harriet Dickens, Lucy Blenkinship and Amelia Crompton, who are members of the GB U19s squad and hope to be selected to represent GB at the European Championships in Croatia.
