TURBO Rules Supreme in Spanish Championship

Spanish Champions-Barceloneta Water Polo Club-officially sponsored by TURBO

Barceloneta Water Polo Club (above) won the Spanish Men's National Championship today after beating arch rivals and neighbours, CN Barcelona.  Barceloneta won the first 3 matches of a best of 5 match duel.  It was not all plain sailing as they came from behind in all 3 games to hold on as eventual winners.  The results were as follows: Game 1. 6-5; Game 2. 11-10 and Game 3. 9-6.

This is the fiercest rivalry in Spanish water polo with International players from Spain, Serbia, Australia, Hungary and the USA all on display.  The quality of water polo was world class and a special highlight  was seeing 40 year old Spanish National Ivan Perez (below far left) still putting in game changing performances!

Runners Up-CN Barcelona-officially sponsored by TURBO

Current SA Mens #8 ,Ryan Bell, was a member of the CN Barcelona Team in 2007 and 2008 and would have played in a good number of these great water polo duels.  Ryan will be in action at the FINA World Championships later this year and will potentially get to play against some of his old team mates.  Turbo SA wishes him and the rest of the SA Water Polo Team best of luck!

Turbo Lands USA Polo Contract

USA Water Polo has signed Turbo as their official kit supplier with a minimum contract until after the London Olympic Games 2012.  Both the Mens and Women's USA teams will be seen in Turbo from head-to-toe in and out of the pool.  The USA are looking at improving on their 4th place finish in the Mens competition at the 2009 FINA World Champs in Rome, while the USA Ladies team are looking in very good shape to retain their 1st Place finish when the 2011 edition of the competition begins later this year in Shanghai, China.

This change in supplier from Speedo to TURBO, yet again confirms Turbo as the world's #1 choice in water polo and swimwear.

Turbo Action Tournament Begings

Tonight saw the launch of the Annual Turbo Action Polo Tournament.  Besides a few players missing due to illness, teams took to the water and the action began from the very first whistle.

It did take some time for teams to settle down and get to know each other but very soon the communication began and some high quality polo was on display.
All in all, the matches were played in a very competitive BUT fun/enjoyable manor!

Well done to all on making the opening night of the Tournament a great success and GOOD LUCK to all for the weeks ahead.

All results/news/tournament info will be constantly published and updated on the blog.  We welcome any comments and feedback.  REMEMBER, this tournament is for the players and it is up to you to make the most of the weeks ahead.
