Aquatic Sports Association president Joe Caruana Curran said: ‘The investment made by the association in the past few years is guaranteeing a bright future for water polo at senior level in the years to come as a number of our young athletes will be the backbone of squads yet to come. Karl Izzo, Anthony Farrugia and Adrian Cachia deserve all the praise for their incessant hard work. The clubs who have nurtured the players over the years have done a fantastic job in providing the national team with great material. The parents of the players, a number who have made this trip, deserve thanks for their continued support to their boys.’
Well done to all and keep up the good work.
