Water polo: Hungarians visiting NZ

Water polo fans will be in for a treat next week when the national junior Hungarian men's team play two exhibition matches against their New Zealand counterparts at the Millennium pool in Auckland.

Hungary, nine times Olympic champions, are regarded as the greatest water polo nation and the junior team are spending five days training and playing matches next week en route to the Australian Youth Olympic Festival.

They are the world junior champions and will provide an opportunity for the New Zealand men to assess their progress.

The games are on Monday and Wednesday next week at 6.45pm.

The Hungarians have daily training sessions starting at noon today and running until Wednesday.
