Dunfermline Coach Brian Campbell, the father of the twins, was full of praise for the young team, and stressed how it had been foru years of hard work and commitment to reach this stage.

"Winning a British competition in England is a major achievement for a Scottish Club," said Campbell, pointing out that the 15 and unders have earned a place alongside the Club's Senior team  that won the British Senior Cup in 1992 and 1993.

The Coach also thanked support from the Club's various junior development initiatives over the previous six years, including the local Sports Council and the Carnegie Trust.

With InCAS having recently started-up a water polo team, and proposals to provide an all deep pool at the Carnegie Centre the future of the sport in Fife is seemingly in very good health.
