Caledonia is a composite
team formed by
Dunfermline WPC and Menzieshill Whitehall AS&WPC to compete
in the British Water
Polo Leagues
which are played in various centralised venues in
England. Each team plays each other twice
with matches taking place over six weekends from September to December
each year. Neither Club has the player nor financial resources to compete in this
competition in their own right given the commitment required for the 6
weekends. Around 20 players are required and each will contribute in the
region of £70 per weekend for Fuel & Accommodation giving a total cost
of competing each year in the region of £6,000. Caledonia were accepted for entry into Division 3 in 2005 and were
promoted as Champions to Division 2 in 2006. Caledonia decided not to
contest the play-off to stay in Div 2 in 2007 but to drop to Div 3 to
concentrate on developing young team. Caledonia remain in Division 3 in
2009. |

30 July 2010 : The British Water Polo League website is online now.
21 Mar 10 : New Season Hi everyone, Despite
Dunfermline beating the mighty M/Hill yesterday I hope we are all still on
speaking terms and starting to get ready for the season.
The fixtures for the
National league are out now and so the planning really needs to start.
Please check the dates and let Stewart and myself know if there are any dates
that you definitely can't make at the moment. Please make every effort to commit
yourself to as many weekends as possible as we all know the benefit of having a
full squad.
As you'll see we start the season against some heavy teams on the Saturday and
then the Marlins team that beat us to promotion two years ago. We can not afford
to have the first weekend to get ourselves fit and organised and we certainly
know that Exeter will be one of the toughest games of the year. (please recall a
12-3 hammering from Hucknall 1st game last year)
Training is available on Saturday evenings in Kirkcaldy and you are welcome to
attend with non-members paying £5 for the session. The next fixed session will
be on the 10th of April. Our 92 team will be playing in the ASA cup the
following weekend so the plan is to do some separate team work and then come
together to work man up and game situations. Please let me know your
availability. I understand there may be a GB weekend then. If everyone can get
there for around 5pm so we can have a quick chat before the session starts that
would be good.
PS As a small team challenge can everyone get a 50m free time done before the
session. You can use a race time as long as it has been done in 2010 or just a
training time. Don't care about PBs because they were probably done when you
were 15. Although I believe this was the average age of the Dunfermline team
last night.
I'll start the ball rolling with a 28.57 so nobody else needs to feel
embarrassed about posting their time.
