In memory of Ken Hall – Enfield’s finest

 

Enfield Water Polo Club are sad to announce the loss of their founder, Ken Hall, who passed away peacefully on Sunday afternoon.

Ken, who was 88, will always be a true legend of the club, and fondly remembered for dedicating so much to the sport he loved.

His passion for water polo inspired hundreds of players – young and old – and he was always driving the club forward.

A popular and ever-present figure on the poolside since the Fifties, Ken was a friend to all and he’ll be missed by not just Enfied, but the entire London water polo community.

As well as holding numerous positions within the club, Ken also served as President of the London Water Polo League in 2002.

There’s no doubt he’s already getting the goals out somewhere, but RIP, Ken – Enfield’s finest ever No.4.
