Return to Training Declaration

Dear Otters,

This is a challenging time for us all and Otter very much needs the cooperation of our members to enable us to operate safely. We are therefore asking all members to confirm their fitness to return to training, before they attend any Otter training session or Otter event after the lockdown, by acknowledging that they have read and understood the attached Return to Training declaration form. Initially, the acknowledgement will be made via a “tick box” on the electronic booking form for each training session.

OTTER LUTRA'S STRONG START TO BWPL

Otter Lutra had a strong start to their BWPL season in Division 2 this weekend at Grantham with a 21 - 5 win over Liverpool and a loss of 13 - 9 to an experienced Sheffield team.

Congratulations to Otter BWPL debutantes Isabella, Natasha, Grace, Pippa, Sarah EK and Lucy Mai who stepped up to the mark as if this were their 5th season and not their first!

With the team the youngest in the division (12 of the 13 players at the weekend were u18) they will have their work cut out for them. However led in the water by the indomitable Lindsay - our longest serving polo player - as captain and Ciara as vice captain, this weekend showed undoubted strengths.
