As was expected, The Exiles Ladies’ waterpolo team evidenced their physical limitations –  when the girls were outplayed by their stronger opponents. Observers noted that our team was pitted in the toughest of the four qualification groups played over the last week-end in the Euro League Women 2019 – 2020 Preliminary Round  in Ostia a large archaeological site, located just 30 km west of Rome .
