Portobello water polo youngsters excelled by reaching the final of the annual BMC Cup under-15 mixed tournament in Dunfermline where they lost to Radcliffe, from Manchester, scoring first in a 2-6 defeat.
On the way through to the final Porty topped their group winning all three games and conceding a mere four goals.
The tournament commemorates Brian MacDonald Campbell, former coach and pillar of Scottish water polo. He died of caner in 2019 and the event is organised by his sons, Ali, Chris and Darren to help bring through the next generation of talent.
Many of the youngsters did Brian’s memory proud with notable displays and organisers were particularly pleased to see a fledgling Aberdeen club did their toe into the competitive waters,
Logan Currie (Dunfermline) was top goal scorer overall with 19 goals followed by Warrender’s Jaai Naryan with 17 and Portobello’s Matthew Sinclair with 16.
The Most Valuable Player prize went south with Radcliffe’s Amber Tucker while her team-mate, Joey Neil, was named top goalkeeper.
The 3rd/4th play off match saw hosts Dunfermline beat Menzieshill 8-2.
The BMC competition continues from 4-6 September with an under-19 girls competition with Radcliffe travelling back to Fife to defend the trophy they won last year.
