Cheshire County 12u Water Polo Festival

Congratulations to the Warrington team who played really well and came second in the event.

In the initial league, Warrington convincingly won three games by 8 goals or more and came second in their league after losing one game by two goals to the eventual winners Radcliffe Reds.

This meant a semi final with Chester Romans who were top of the other league, which Warrington won a close match by the only goal in the game.

This set up the final with Radcliffe Reds, who won their semi final by a four goal margin.. In the final Warrington played well narrowly losing by one goal in a close game with a final score of 2-1 to Radcliffe Reds.

With only six players, coming second and overall winning four out of six games was an excellent result . With nine teams, around 80 players and 25 games it was a really good event .Thanks to all the volunteers who helped make the event run so smoothly.
