More Waterpolo Success - 24th January 2008
Congratulations to Adam Oakman who has become the 3rd Cambridge Junior player in as many months to be scouted by the Great British Waterpolo team.
Adam has been invited to attend the GB training camp during Feburary half term. We all wish him luck for the tough week ahead of him!
It has been a good week for the Cambridge Juniors with 3 games and 3 very convincing victories. They won the Deben tournament on Saturday night beating Deben 13-0 and Ipswich 10-1. They then followed this up with an excellent performance against Magdelene college winning 16-0. They continue their unbeaten season against the University men's 'A' team next week. This will be a real challenge for the smaller and less experienced Junior team.
Good luck lads and well done Adam.
