Because of Covid, it was decided to hold a tournament to cater for missed games during 2021.

The Bristol & West Water Polo League held a series of Senior Teams Tournaments over two days at Millfield Pool, on Saturday, February 12th and Sunday, February 13th.

On Saturday the tournament was for Division 1 and 2 senior men’s teams; and on the Sunday the Premier League Senior Men and senior women played.

Below you will find a full list of results, together with the match sheets from each game.

Many thanks to all the volunteers, including the referees and those who helped manage the match tables. Without your valuable contribution we would not have been able to hold this tournament.
