The canoe polo club capped off another successful year by claiming bronze medals in both the men’s and ladies league at their annual BUCS tournament.

The A team went into BUCS with high hopes having ended their national league season undefeated and having gained promotion. Their confidence seemed well placed with 4 wins on Saturday assuring them a top 3 finish. However, losses to Durham and Hull blocked their route to the final and consigned them to third.

The Ladies team, having taken 4th place for several years before a 5th place last year, seemed to be out for revenge. They claimed several victories on Saturday, but having lost to Loughborough were forced to play more games to progress, finally being beaten again by Loughborough in the playoff for the final to finish third.

Mention should also be made of the non BUCS teams, with the B’s gaining an impressive 9th place despite several last minute drop outs and the Old Boys gaining 7th place in a strong league.
