The final tournament of the Polish Under-13 Water Polo Championships took place at the Floating Arena in Szczecin, in which Alfa Gorzów triumphed with a full set of victories (and will host the competition in the local Słowianka aquapark next year), while the defending champion Arkonia Waterpolo Szczecin won the silver medal.

The Szczecin team defeated WTS Polonia Bytom 11:4, UKS Neptun University of Lodz 7:3, Gortat Waterpolo School Poznań 5:3 and UKS Syrenka Pałac Młodzieży Warsaw in a penalty shootout 3:0 (2:2 in regular time), which decided the vice-championship, and the hero of the match was goalkeeper Filip Pauszek, who defended a penalty 20 seconds before the end, and then did it three more times. Our waterpolo players lost only one match, to Alfa Gorzów 2:6, after a very fast and exciting match, in which there were many red cards.

The silver medalists from Gryf were: Filip Pauszek, Wojciech Parobczy - Adam Bamberski, Gustaw Batogowski, Filip Górka, Marcel Haściło, Krystian Iwanejko, Julian Jurys, Alan Laskowski, Wojciech Łubiński, Bartłomiej Milewski, Marcel Nabrzewski, Jerzy Nekanda-Trepka, Stanisław Tamm and coaches Mariusz Stawecki and Marek Groniewicz.

In Szczecin, during the Polish Junior Championship matches, the system of a basket with a ball in the middle of the pool was used for the first time, which is used at the start of the game. At the start of each match, the ball is in the middle of the pool, and after the referee's whistle, the basket falls to the bottom, while the ball remains in the middle. There are no cases here, as happened when the referees threw the ball, that it flew more to the left or right to the players from one or the other team...

The Arkonia Waterpolo officials and coaches, through us, encourage all young boys who can swim and would like to experience a bit of the excitement of competition in the pool to come and see what water polo is all about, and maybe in the future they will become players of our local team. (mij)
