European sporting debut for Y10 student
As a school, we are delighted to celebrate the remarkable sporting achievements of Year 10 student, Joseph, who has made an outstanding impact on the European sporting stage.
Joseph was a key member of his City of Manchester Water Polo Club U16 team as they competed in the first round of the Nordic League in Finland, marking the club’s European competition debut. Through skill, determination and teamwork, the squad emerged top of their group, winning all four matches. In recognition of his pivotal contributions, Joseph was named Most Valuable Player (MVP) in one of the games – a testament to his talent and influence in the pool.
The team’s success in Finland now sees them progress to the next round of the competition in Germany at the end of June, an exciting opportunity to showcase their abilities on an even larger stage.
Joseph’s accomplishments are particularly impressive given that he is only 15 years old. In addition to his role in the U16 team, he regularly plays up for the club’s U19 squad, the 2025 national champions, as well as the U17 team, who secured silver in their national competition.
Bridgewater is incredibly proud of his achievements, which exemplify the school’s values of commitment, excellence and inspiration. We look forward to following his continued success both on the national and European stage.
