No fewer than 13 teams – easily a record - will be bidding for places in the British League when the 2022/23 women’s and men’s qualification tournaments take place in April.
There are six in the women’s competition, which has been moved from Northampton, 2/3 April, to Liverpool Aquatics Centre, 9/10 April – St Andrews University, Liverpool Water Beatles, Manchester Comets (these were the three bottom-placed teams in Division 3 this season), and Kirkintilloch & Kilsyth, Solihull and Sunderland (all involved in the most recent qualifying tournament but without making the top three).
The men’s tournament at Haberdashers on 2/3 April will feature four clubs completely new to BWPL – Avondale, Colchester, Northampton and Radcliffe – plus Bedford, who are aiming to return to the League five years after ending 28 seasons of continuous involvement in the former men’s National League as well as BWPL. Completing the line-up will be Cambridge and Chester, the two lowest-placed teams in Division 5 this season.
The top three at each qualifying event progress to Division 3 (women) or Division 5 (men) at the start of the 2022/23 season.
