Last Saturday the Men’s 1st team travelled to Bristol, for a full day of water polo as part of the 1st Division BUCS (British Universities and Colleges Sport). As is the same as every year, our team had to play three games; the teams finishing 1st and 2nd pass to the next round (semi-finals) while the team that finishes last is demoted to second division. … Continue reading Men’s 1st – BUCS 09/02/2013

This match concluded the first set of games for our 1st team in the U-polo tournament, meaning that we will have to play against the same teams once more. Winning this game would not mean that we would certainly proceed to the next round but it … Continue reading Men’s 1st vs Bath Uni 02/12/2012
