The 2019 hockey season is well underway in what promises to be a very tightly contested tussle between several of the traditional powerhouses and perhaps a few giant killers who are hoping to cause some surprises.

It has been a sensational season from the St Stithians Water Polo team who rest at the top of the SA School Sports Rankings after finishing this stage of 2019 unbeaten.

Few would dispute that SACS have put in a master class this season and are ostensibly the leading team in the nation after enjoying one of their finest years in the pool.

The hockey season is now fully engaged with many of the teams having enjoyed some good success in this early part of the season.

It has been St Stithians all the way this season with an unbeaten run of 27 matches as they have taken home every trophy on offer. Saints lead this week’s Girls Water Polo Rankings again and it seems unlikely they will be caught.

In 2018 it was Pearson who ended the season as the leading team in the country and although they have started well once against we are looking at St Stithians who are taking the No.1 spot for this week on the Water Polo Rankings.

SACS are still laying claim to the No.1 spot on this week’s Boy’s Water Polo Rankings but the field has closed on them and it is looking like several teams could well be serious contenders in 2019.

SACS put on a powerful performance last week at the St Andrews College Shield Tournament where they overcame the strong Clifton team in the final match to clinch the top spot on this week’s SA School Sports Rankings.

Still very early days in the 2019 Water Polo season with several of the big teams yet to play enough matches to get included on this year’s rankings but in another week or two we can expect many of the usual suspects heading to the top of the table.
