About Canoe Polo and the Munster Polo League
Canoe Polo is a team ball game similar to Water Polo, with the difference that players are in canoes. Players try to pass the ball to each other and score in a goal at the defending teams end while navigating around the pool by canoe.
The Munster Polo League Division 2 is the top level Canoe Polo League in Munster (South of Ireland) and Division 3 Nationally, below the Premier League. The 2022 Munster Polo League is the first in 2 years due to the Covid Pandemic and features three University teams: UL Wolves (Limerick), UCC (Cork), UCDOFB & GKC (Dublin) as well as Kamikazee and Fanatical Dodgers.
