Early this year, one of the Tigers moved out to Hong Kong and quickly got involved with the Canoe Polo scene.

John Flitcroft took part in the 2011 Hong Kong Canoe Polo Open Championship last month. He helped his team to become the Hong Kong Champions and get a gold medal.

Well done to the three Tigers who represented Great Britain in canoe polo this month at the European Champions in Madrid.

Two of our Tiger boys, Matt Fletcher and Ross Martin, have been selected to represent Great Britain in the Under 21s Canoe Polo team for this year’s international summer tournaments.
Here Ross reviews their first weekend away:

3 wins and 4 losses in Charleroi - a great competition for the start of the season. This was Matt’s second year representing GB and my first year.
The three wins were hard work but we managed as a team to pull them off thanks to some good shots.  The losses were close but the main thing that the team came away with was the experience.  And it was the first tournament as this selected team so under the circumstances it was a great weekend.
So well played to the team, and thanks to a good coach!  Bring on the rest of the tournaments!

The 9th and 10th April saw quite a busy weekend for the Tigers with both the A and B teams competing in Roundhay Park in Leeds and quite a number competing and supporting up at the division 2/3 slalom event at Fairnilee.  Read on to find out how the weekend went…
