In has turned out to be a two horse race for the Number 1 spot on the SA School Sports Top 40 Water Polo Rankings for Boys with the powerhouses of Clifton and Rondebosch battling their way through the season.
Clifton however enjoy occupying the leading position for this week after some solid wins against strong opposition in KZN although matters did not go the way they would have preferred at the St. Stithians Tournament where they came unstuck in the quarter final against Jeppe.
SACS enjoyed a fine time of it at the Saints Tournament battling their way into the final showdown with St.Johns College and taking the title with a 7-5 win.
However Rondebosch have made up some ground as the put down the challenges of the likes of Reddam, SACS and PRG with only SACS pushing them all the way.
As the season winds down please send through your results to editor@saschoolsports.co.za to ensure they are all included.
