After a one-sided, but incredibly exciting final, Dunaújváros College won the girls' eights final . The first stage of the age-group finals in Győr brought great battles, in the end the people from Nújváros crushed the people from Szentes, the bronze went to KSI.

The quarter-finals and the semi-finals Dunaújváros won with a five-goal success on the first two days of the girls' children's final - neither Fradi nor the hosts from Győr had a chance against those from Újváros. On the opening day, however, one-sided meetings took place, the Győrs flattened BVSC, Szentes did not give UVSE a chance, and KSI had an overwhelming advantage in water polo against Eger.

The battles in the semi-finals are much hotter were taking place. Thanks to their excellent second quarter, the Győrs took a 6-4 lead against DFVE, and in the third, after an early goal by Nújváros, a huge rally started, and after five scoreless minutes, the "guests" turned the game around in 36 seconds. Although the Győrs still equalized, a man-advantage goal gave the New Towns the advantage again. After another three and a half minutes of scrimmage, Mihók Mandula (no, not a coincidence at all, she is the daughter of the national team captain) scored a center goal to make it 7-9, and this broke the Győrs. They scored three more goals before the end of the second half, and the second half ended with 1-8, so the Újváros team sailed into the final. He led 6-3. But the people of Szentes got excited for the continuation, first they closed to 6-5, then after 7-5, Mácsai Kincső came back to 7-7 before the final part with two man advantage goals. In the final part, KSI regained the lead three times, but never managed to double the advantage, while Szentes was able to equalize each time. And in the end, the villagers could be happy, they made one mistake in the duel, while KSI made two mistakes, so Szentes - even though they never led in regular time - moved on.

In the battle for bronze, KSI recovered in the first half out of shock, then swept the Győrs in the second, thus taking third place. In the final, Dunaújváros made a sensational start, with two 2-0 quarters, they practically won at halftime. For a while in the third period, there was no indication that the sides could be in for some sweaty excitement: although the Szentes team scored after 18 minutes, the score was 6-2 even with 3:24 left before the whistle. Three minutes later it was 6-4, but two seconds before the end of the quarter, Schalpp-Molnár Annamari's action goal restored the three-goal difference.

The Kurca team started the fourth part with a quick goal, but five minutes before the end, Enikő Nagy of DFVE went with three goals. Few would have thought that the people of New Town would not score more goals, but Dömsödi Döniz brought the people of Szentes one closer with 3:45 before the end of the game. There were several chances for the Szentesi team to close in, but they finally succeeded only 34 seconds before the whistle. At 0:05, they could start after another timeout, but they failed to get a shot and forced another penalty shootout, so the people of Dunaújváros could be happy.
