Sussex star named water polo league player of the year

This prestigious award is not just made to the person who is judged possibly as the best player, but to the individual who reflects an outstanding contribution to the club, league and water polo in general.

Alcorn has worked incredibly hard to become one of the best and most consistent goalkeepers in the UK after starting playing as a junior at the old Aquarena in Worthing.
