Five up, five wins: Army water polo make a splash at the top

The British Army water polo team have won all five of their opening matches in the National Conference Water Polo League Men's Division 1.

Callum Bailey scored nine times in the 25-16 win over Northampton at the Alan Higgs Centre, Coventry, that sealed their spot at the top of the table.

Next up, an all-important clash against Colchester, who have won four from four games, awaits at the end of the month.

In their season so far, the Army have also recorded convincing wins over Watford Saxons, Radcliffe and Rotherham Metro after kicking off their campaign with a 20-15 victory over Caledonia Storm.

Morgan Wells is joint top scorer in the division so far with 26 goals, while Bailey sits second on 25 and Max Hubrich also proving to be a key player for the military team.

Last season, the Army missed out on the Conference Championship by just a point.
