It has been 22 years since FTC won the Hungarian Cup and no doubt 2018 will be one for the record books. Their incredible year has seen them win four the major trophies include the Euro Cup, the Hungarian League, the European Super Cup and the Hungarian Cup.

Next week they have the chance to make it five titles at the Hungarian Super Cup when Younger will go up against his former team, Szolnok.

The latest win for Ferencvaros saw the side take a 10-4 win over Miskolci in the final game of the Final four tournament held on the Komjadi swimming pool in Budapest.

The Budapest club won its 18th cup trophy in club history and also the first since 1997 so it was a big day for Fradi’s fans.

Younger once again proved his worth for his new team that he joined the side in June this year.

Denes Varga opened the scoring for the team, but Bowen managed to equalize. Varga continued and found the net one more time, Bedo answered the same way, but by the end of the first period, Ferencvaros scored two more goals thanks to Aaron Younger and Nikola Jaksic.

The second quarter was dominated by defensive play on both sides of the swimming pool. But Ferencvaros was also better in this part and ended the first half with a 6:3 lead.

Ferencvaros defense continued to create big problems for Miskolci water polo players, while Varga and Younger found the net to give the favorite an 8:4 advantage before the start of the final period.

And in those eight minutes, it was just a matter of routine for the defending Hungarian champion. Tomas Sedlmayer had the honor to close the game with two consecutive goals and the party in Budapest could begin.
