Water polo players Olivia Metcalf, Emma Jackson, Rithika Koshy and Jordan Kelly-Linden are on the pathway to England representative honours. 

Olivia, from Altrincham, Emma from Denton, Jordan from Sale, and Rithika from Central Manchester, have been selected to train with players from across the North West at Manchester Acquatics Centre.

The quartet now have the possibility of representing their country, given that all members of the Regional Training Centre will be invited to the National Academy  in 2008, as long as they maintain attendance and performance levels during the final 10 weeks of training.
