PENGUIN TOO GOOD FOR MANCHESTER IN CHAMPIONS CUP
ONE win, one defeat - that was the story for City of Manchester as the Champions Cup weekend reached a dramatic finish at Coventry today (13th April).
The women's title was comfortably retained, Manchester racing into a 5-0 lead in the first period against Liverpool Lizards and eventually winning 10-5.
But there were shocks in store in the men's final, which also produced a 5-0 first quarter lead - for an inspired Penguin team. The Londoners went on to win 11-8, their first Champions Cup success. It also deprived Manchester of the double after their domination of the Super 5s. See News page.
MAX HEADS FOR WORLD CHAMPS
Congratulations to referee Max Gerasimov, of Cheltenham, who has been selected as an official for the World Aquatics Championships, which take place in Singapore next July.
