After a tense final preliminary match, that finished 9-9, our youngsters kept their composure from 5m to win the shootout and take the points.

The spectacular result means England will face Poland B again for the gold medal in Sunday’s morning’s final, 10.30am start local time.

Game 4 and Final ENG v Poland B

England U17s have won the silver medal at the Slowianka Cup after narrowly losing 8-7 (2-2, 0-3, 1-0, 2-0, 3-2P) to Poland B in the final.

Penalties were needed to separate the two teams again and after England’s shootout win last night, this time it was the hosts who came out on top.

England started the match strongly and played superbly to go 5-2 up at half-time, but it wasn’t to be as Poland fought back to level and ultimately top the podium.

Another fantastic performance from our talented youngsters, who gave everything throughout, and great experience of playing in an international water polo tournament for them all.

Huge thanks to the players, coaches, officials and event organisers, and for the excellent support here and back home
