Rich pickings for skip

CAPTAIN Tom Richmond led Manchester Grammar School to the English Schools' National Water Polo Championships.

The Prestbury teenager helped his team beat City of London 10­5 in the semi-final, before overcoming Trinity School Croydon 14­9 in a thrilling final in Walsall.

More than 50 schools originally entered the competition with MGS, who are coached by Simon Jones and Commonwealth Games star Rosie Morris, winning the Northern region qualifier.

It completes a superb year for the talented Richmond, 16, who has been selected for the England Development Squad.

Coach Jones said: "Water polo is one of the most physically demanding sports and the top players have to maintain excellent fitness levels.

"We have some outstanding individuals, but Tom adds that something special; he has a big future in the sport."

Mr Jones added: "We train for 10 hours each week, both in the pool and at school and at the Manchester Aquatic Centre, which has been a fantastic addition to the sporting facilities in the city."
