28 to 31 August 2008 - Nováky, Slovakia
Britains mens junior water polo players fought hard to claim a Silver medal in this Six-Nation-Tournament for men´s junior teams. The matches were contested in the marvellous outdoor pool of the Slovakian city which can covered by a moveable roof.
The first game saw Britain lose to Australia 3-10, but the British team went on to improve their form and won the following three matches. They won 9-5 against Holland, beat Slovakia 13-7 and easily defeated the French 15-8.
The final game against Slovenia ended in a 9-9 draw but the British team had already done enough to earn Silver with a total of 7 points.
The British win over the Dutch is the first in recent memory and these promising results put the British side in a good position for the forthcoming European Junior Championships, which are being held in Istanbul from 7-14 Sept 2008.
