“The first round of the first Hungarian Underwater Rugby Nationals were held today! I. place: PFBSE Dolphins II. place: The Mayfly III. place: The Current We were happy to see so many participants playing exciting matches, leaving behind the previous, long era! But this is just the first step, we’re preparing for more rounds!
The Current has been operating for one and a half years. The first training was held in May 2019, two of us tested the fresh purchase of UWR balls. Since then the club has grown a lot, as of now we have 6 players licensed by the federation and 23 on the entry list of the National Swimming Complex.
UWR Committee got elected too.

I think I know quite much about rugby teams, but I never really had an idea, what a coach does. Something I needed myself, something I needed to do myself.
The Orcas helped us out as always and 3 of us got to play with the Serbian team. My plan was that we stay back and use the extra weight to top the defense in front of the goal, but that wasn't happening much.
Are you a greater strategist than Napoleon Bonaparte? You twist the ball better than James LeBron? You enjoy the freedom of diving without scuba tanks? You wanna be faster in the water than the IronLady? And you have not yet tried underwater rugby?!
To sum it up, it is a common opinion that The Empire Strikes Back is the best episode of the SW-saga. The organizers did splendid work to let countries from all around the globe show the best of their underwater rugby. If you’re not watching, you’re missing out! To be continued with the matches of the first half of the UWR World Championships.
