Water Polo
Our junior teams have had a wonderful start to their season.
The U14A team brought home the gold medal at the Rondebosch tournament over the weekend of 22 – 25 September. They topped their pool by winning all 7 games and then comfortably progressed to the final to come up against the hosts, Rondebosch. After a slow start to the final, the boys displayed incredible strength of character to fight their way back into the game which ended 7-7 after full time. The boys showed unbelievable composure to win the penalty shootout and claim 1st place at Rondebosch tournament for the first time. Michael Mafunda was named goalkeeper of the tournament and Matt Fenn was named player of the tournament.
The U15A team played in the Ian Melliar Cup hosted by Wynberg over the same weekend. They finished 2nd in their pool winning 3 from 4 games, only losing to Selborne College. The team grew in strength with each game and won the next 3 playoff games, beating Grey High School 6-3; Reddam House 7-6 in the Quarter finals; then Paul Roos 5-4 in the Semi-finals, to advance into the final. They came up against Selborne College in the final for what was a very tense and low scoring game which went the way of Selborne in the end. The team brought home the silver medal with Daniel van den Heever making the tournament team and Alex Laspatzis being named goalkeeper of the tournament.
Both teams have done us proud!
