Bedford Modern School Year 10 students, Jason Attwood and Ruaidhri Meghen are following on from last year’s waterpolo success by having been selected for the England Talent Group for Boys born in 1995 and 1996.
Jason, along with Year 12 students, Matt Leydon and Ben Jarman, represented the East Region in the National Division 2 Championships recently. All played well with Ben Jarman managing to net twice in the Tournament and Matt Leydon making a string of fine saves in the goal. The Region finished 4th, winning one and losing three games. BMS Master in Charge, Tim Whitwham, was the Team Manager.
The Girls’ Waterpolo Competition will be taking place over the weekend of 13th and 14th February. The Region’s team boast three Bedford Modern School girls in Year 10 students, Billie Scholten, Holly Rooney and Ros Latham and two former students in Amy and Rebecca Ennion who learnt to play waterpolo at BMS. Tim Whitwham has been invited to coach the team.
All the players have been, or are presently involved in, the National Development Programme run through the Regional Training Centres. Bedford Modern School hosts one for the Region and the scheme is part of the build up to and legacy of the 2012 Olympic Games
