BLAKEDOWN Canoe Polo Club have become Welsh open champions.

Teams from Ireland, Wales and England competed for the crown over two days at Haverfordwest.

Blakedown, coached by John Hands, were unbeaten in their divisional matches to gain a place in the play-offs.

A closely fought semi-final with Cork saw them win with a golden goal scored by Rob Myers.

A solid performance against Dublin in the final brought them a 3-1 victory.
