THE first games of the season and Lancaster's water polo stars score their first three victories.

The team - who won the championship back in March - travelled to Crystal Palace to beat Polytechnic 7-6, Tydlesley 13-8 and Penguin 9-7.

But some at the club were worried that the wins weren't as emphatic as the team were recording last year.

Team: S Baker, M Little, C Burgess, C Hartley, N Bowers, L Cooke, D Powell, P Squires, S Knowles, J Lafferty, T Jones, D Campbell.
