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…

Just a quick reminder that we have now switched to our summer training timetable.  Check it out at the ‘About Us’ tab in the right hand corner of the website. 

And use the Calendar to find out which slalom and polo events the club are attending over the summer.  If you need some advice about events or what to share lifts then check out the forum.

Another year of local league is over.  Thanks to all the teams for coming along.  Everyone played some good games so hopefully you are all ready for the National Championships that Tees Tigers is running again this summer.  So get the 9th and 10th July 2011 into the diaries!

Read on for the Division 1 & 2 results.

Saturday 5th March saw the final tournament of Div 4 North. With the C-Team winning the close fought contest for first place beating Dave Brown’s (until tonight undefeated!) Welsh Warriors by one point! Read more

After having to cancel the first tournament due to the bad weather back in December, we were pleased to get this tournament up and running.  Youth teams came from all over the North East to get some more experience playing polo against people of a similar age.  The tournament went well with strong performances from all the paddlers particularly those fairly new to the sport.  Thanks goes to all those who supported the event.  Hopefully all the teams will now enter the National Champs that Tees Tigers are running again this year at the Watersports Centre in Stockton in July.  Read on for the full results.

In the run up to the A-team’s first tournament of the year, there was talk of “new team colours”.  The first I saw of them was at the committe meeting on the Tuesday before this tournament.  To be honest it was a good job someone mentioned to Duncan that he was now playing for the Tigers, given that he was planing on turning up with a sorry looking boat and shredded fablon.  Those years of playing Uni polo and a season for Pennine have clearly lowered his standard (I thought he was gonna have a few games for White Rose!).

Once upon a time there was a canoe polo team called the “Tees Tigers” and on the 9th May 2010 they headed off to Liverpool to play in the play-offs after completing successful seasons in Div 2 and Div 3. We all knew that all the games were going to be hard, but not impossible. Read more

Someone asked Nicky what was happening this weekend just gone. Let’s see if I missed anything out as what a hectic weekend it was for the Tigers! Read more

Hull…
 
What can we say about Hull?
 
Well, for a kick off its a coastal town at the mouth of humber.  It is home to Kingston Kayak club, Hull Mariners and was birth place of trevor macdonald (I think!).  But that’s about it! Read more
