Waterpolo

In the early exchanges in this year water polo encounters three teams have risen to the top and they are the three teams who finished last year’s season in the top three.

Rondebosch continue where they ended off in 2017 and have immediately hit the front of this year’s SA School Sports Rankings.

“You pays your money and you takes your choice,” wrote Mark Twain in 1884 at the end of Chapter 28 of Huckleberry Finn.

The St.Stithians team have been in brilliant form right through the 2017 season and it comes as little surprise that they remain the No.1 ranked team on this week’s SA School Sports Rankings.

Living up to their tag as the leading team in South Africa, Rondebosch put on a display of winning water polo at the Saints Invitational Tournament where they fought their way to the final match.

Rondebosch continue to command the leading position on this week’s SA School Sports Top 40 Rankings although they were forced to share the spoils with a determined SACS team last week.

St Stithians became the first team from Gauteng to win the prestigious Reddam Tournament when they faced the hosts in the final which they won 7-5 in what goes down as one of the matches of the year.

For the second consecutive year the Rondebosch team lifted the Cup at the SACS Tournament where they brushed aside the hosts in the final 5-2 in what turned out to be a wonderful display from two formidable teams.

St. Stithians have entrenched their place as the leading Water Polo team in the country at this stage of the season and sit just above Stirling in first place on the SA School Rankings for another week.
