Sedgefield Water Polo Club sent a team of 8 ‘junior men’ to play in the ManUp Tournament at the Albert Docks, Liverpool on Saturday 23rd July. Other teams in the tournament included Bridgefield, Worcester, Fleetwood and Nomads.
This tournament is a different style of game to what the team are used to playing. ManUp is a fun, exciting and fast paced version of water polo promoting a more attacking style of the game with a smaller pitch and a reduced match time. Playing outdoors in the Albert Dock on a cold and wet Saturday afternoon was definitely a challenge for the team, who played exceptionally well in open water, winning three games and losing narrowly on two games – coming away in a very well deserved third place. All the team thoroughly enjoyed the day.
In addition to Junior and Senior sessions, the club now offer a beginner session on a Saturday afternoon for those wishing to try this fun and exciting sport. All sessions need to be booked in advance so please check our website for further info and joining instructions; Contact us: 07579 030 598 or email direct: sedgefieldwp@hotmail.com
