Sedgefield Water Polo Club are pleased to confirm that our Under 14’s mixed team are the winners of the 2023 Wakefield & District League, after winning six games and losing just one this season.
The team consists of some of our more experienced players, along with seven members who began with us in our beginner group before achieving their level 8 award and progressing into our main club.
The league took place between April and November, and consisted of home and away matches with our friends at Grantham, Rotherham, Sheffield and Hucknall. The team scored a fantastic 98 goals over the season, with Thomas being the league top goal scorer with 53 goals.
Vicky Alderson, Competitions Secretary, commented “It is great to see the children grow in confidence over the season as they have fun in the games whilst, at the same time, developing their polo skills and game awareness. As a club, we would like to thank all the parents for giving up their time to take the children to the matches, and to our fantastic coaches and team managers who are there on the day to make sure everything goes as it should.”
