Good luck to the 1999’s team who take on Welsh Wanderers on Saturday (a replacement fixture for the 2nds V Hereford match)

Update 29th March

Please note, there is no Club training this weekend due to a Gala in Newport.

Last week saw a lot of Polo played by all ages at the Club. This started with the 1999’s taking on Swansea in Swansea, which saw them win 9 – 26, then the 2002’s took on Carmarthen at home and another win 19 – 5. Next to take to the water were the Junior Bristol and West team, who arrived in Exeter with only 8 members of the team. This match resulted in our closest contest with Exeter, a narrow defeat 13 – 11. The Seniors took to the water after this and again narrowly lost to Exeter 16 – 13.

All of these games saw some excellent individual and team performances, well done to you all for the effort and determination you all showed, keep it up.

RTC in Newport only Friday. 

There is a Gala at the pool this weekend, (1st April, no joke), so there will be no Club training over the weekend.

The Welsh Junior Men Swim Set takes place this Saturday in Swansea between 14.00 and 16.30, then there is the Welsh Water Polo Clinic on Sunday from 11.00 – 14.00. Don’t forget the academy session from 11.00 – 12.00.

We are waiting for confirmation, but we hope the next 2nd Team (Seniors) game will be against Hereford at 15.00 on Saturday 8th April (at home)

The 2nd Team fixture list is taking shape very quickly. We already have matches planned against Bradford, Hereford and Weston-Super-Mare, all on a home and away basis. As soon as I have a couple of the dates confirmed, I will send out an updated calendar.

Below is the diary, I hope it all makes it clear to understand:

29th March, Wed      20.00 – 22.00, Seniors training

31st March, Fri           RTC in Newport

Swansea V Newport seconds Match Report

A winning start for Newport Water Polo

City of Newport’s season got under way last week when its newly established second team travelled west to play Swansea in a friendly. Having been created to give some of the less established senior squad players more game time, Newport II’s line-up on the day was comprised of a combination of up-and-coming youngsters and experienced veterans, with the players ranging from 15 to 54 years of age.

Despite missing several leading first team players – including the club’s four senior internationals – Newport II’s made relatively easy work of the inexperienced opposition, who themselves have only been in existence for a few years. Captained by centre-back Lewis Jones, and employing a high tempo counterattacking game, Newport II’s raced into a 7-2 lead at half-time, with Gareth Campbell scoring four, Jack Tod contributing two and Isaac Bowen also getting on the scoresheet.

The second half was a much more even affair. Nevertheless, with Newport II’s press defence holding firm and the counterattack continuing to paid dividends, it was the visitors who ultimately came out on top. Both Bowen (2) and Daniel Griffiths managed to get on the scoresheet, but it was 15 year old Ollie Chilcott who stole the show, scoring a brace late on. One of Chilcott’s goals - a particularly sweet long range effort that flew into the top right corner of the net – was arguably the highlight of the match.

Whilst Newport II’s 12-5 victory was fairly comfortable in the end, it was an important win nonetheless. On 8 March, the club kicks off its fifth season in the Bristol & West League since re-entering the competition in 2013, when Frome visit Newport International Sports Village. Having been crowned champions of the Second Division last year, it promises to be a testing season for newly-promoted Newport. Therefore, the victory against Swansea was a great opportunity for the players to get some much needed water time and momentum ahead of a big year.

It is also hoped that the match will be the first of many for Newport II’s. A number of friendly matches are being arranged over the next year, with the ultimate aim of entering a Newport II’s team into competitive tournaments and leagues from 2018. To this end, the club is looking to recruit new players. It doesn’t matter whether you’ve played before – the club caters for players of all ages and abilities, from complete novices through to current internationals. All that you will need is a reasonable swimming ability and a willingness to learn in a friendly, social and supportive environment.

Training on Saturday is at the normal time. Juniors from 4 – 5.30 and Seniors from 5.30 – 7 PM.

I have no update for the Welsh League matches yet, so I have not attached an updated calendar, hopefully we will have it complete next week.

Thank you to all that pointed out my mistakes on the Calendar so far, I really appreciate it, I do realise I am not infallible. For those of you that have not noticed or have just taken my word, the Cwm Draig matches on 23rd February and 9th March are actually at 20.00, not 13.00. Again, thanks for those that noticed and asked.

We are also still waiting for Newport to get back to us about what can be done to cover the amount of training time we are losing due to galas. As soon as we hear anything about this I will update everyone.

RTC in both Newport and Carmarthen on 27th January, This Friday.

Below is the diary, I hope it all makes it clear to understand:

25th        Jan, Wed             20.00 – 22.00, Seniors training

That is all for now, if there are any questions, please do let me know, or indeed, if you note that I have made another silly mistake, then please do tell me so that I can put it right.

We have received feedback from John Evans, but unfortunately it is to say that things will continue in the same way as they are at present. This is a shame, but we will see if we can move forward to assist Water Polo within Wales within the present structure.

Weekly Update

IMPORTANT – Training this weekend is on Saturday starting at 5PM

Training this week is an hour later, please remember this.

The Juniors lost to Newton Abbot last weekend, but played well for most of the match in what was a very difficult match due to several reasons, not least being the shallowness of the pool. The final score was 21 – 8 to Newton Abbot.

That is the last Junior game in the Bristol and West league this year, well done to all who took part, you have all improved dramatically over the year.

We will be seeing if we can organise a couple of Friendlies over the next few months, for the Juniors, as soon as I know more I will let you know.
