Last weekend, the 3rd March, our canoe polo team (Glanford and Scunthorpe Anchovies) attended their third tournament at Yearsley Pool in York and they had a great evening winning every game they played!
Their first match was against Wharfe Ducks and for Caitlin Swaby, it was her debut match. They won this game 5-2 with the goal scorers being: Ian, Wayne, Aaron and Mikey (x2). The next game was played against Sheffield Uni who they beat 4-1 with Ian scoring 1, Mikey scoring 1 and Owen scoring 2 goals. After having a talk about tactics between the team they went into the next game with their game plan. Playing against Northumbria: Ian scored 2; Graham scored his first goal, since starting this season; Wayne scored 1 and Aaron scoring 1 leaving the final score being 5-1. The toughest game of the tournament came next, playing against Hull University’s team. The Anchovies were struggling a lot within the first half with the score being 1-0 down. They soon turned that around winning 2-1 within the second half with Mikey and Ian scoring the two goals taking them to victory. Their final game of the night was against EY Otters. Ian scored, Wayne scored and Aaron scored 2 goals resulting in a 4-1 victory.
Overall it was a great night for the Anchovies, pictured below. Their next tournament is on the 7th April.
Watch out for an email soon where we will be encouraging involvement in polo and our other competitive disciplines.
