Spring update for juniors and seniors

Seniors

Fixtures

The Division 1 squad had it’s final league game against Drogheda in Belfast last weekend. The seniors’ season has now finished and training has ceased for the summer.

We plan to play Men’s National League Division 2, next year. It is a good opportunity for younger players to gain experience at senior level. The club will be in touch during the summer to assess interest and notify players of pre-season training arrangements.

Juniors

Team App

We are trialing the use of Team App for the remainder of this season for our junior players and parents.

Team App is a free sports team management app. It sends reminders for events such as training and matches. It also allows us to invite individual members to games and to record attendance at training sessions and matches. Finally, it allows us to share files, photos and polls within teams.

At the end of the season we’ll ask for feedback and make a decision on whether to use it across the club next season.

The easiest way to take part is to download the Team App search for 'Cú Chulainn Water Polo Club' and request to join.

When creating a profile, please join with your own details, include a number for emergency contact and include your child’s full name and date of birth in the “notes” section.

Spring series junior blitzes

The following games have been announced by Ulster Water Polo. Invites will be sent via Team App.

We would be grateful if parents could consider whether they are prepared to provide lifts for teammates of their own children to the Newry fixture.
