\"\"The Western Province<\/strong> U19 team will go into this year\u2019s Water Polo Inter-provincial Tournament (IPT) <\/strong>as the favourites to win the title when the showpiece commences next month at Grey High School<\/strong> in Gqeberha.<\/p>\n

Their fierce rivals, Gauteng <\/strong>and KwaZulu-Natal<\/strong>, have also named strong sides for the spectacle, raising excitement about the forthcoming matchups which will bring together the most exciting talent in the school ranks in South Africa.<\/p>\n

South African College High School<\/strong> (SACS) from Cape Town dominates the Western Province A-Team. They have six players in the line-up whose superb form helped SACS capture a hat-trick of prestigious titles in the latter part of the season.<\/p>\n

Much will be expected of one of their standard-setters, Nicholas Fall<\/strong>, who has been a terror in front of goal for the Cape Town school.<\/p>\n

He picked up the Forward of the Tournament <\/strong>accolade in last month’s St Stithians Water Polo Invitational, <\/strong>after leading his side to a 7-6 win over St John’s College in the final.<\/p>\n

The rest of the SACS representatives are Noah Bigara<\/strong>, Thomas Wiltshire<\/strong>, Zack Cicero<\/strong>, Richard Skeeles<\/strong>, and Conor Melling-Williams<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Paul Roos<\/strong>, the second-best team in the Western Cape, with a legitimate claim to being number two in South Africa, also, have four players –\u00a0Adam October, Maximilian Mossop, Johannes Reyneke, and Arkin Marais <\/strong>–\u00a0who will make the trip to Gqeberha.<\/p>\n

Twice during the end of year action, they were edged out by SACS for big titles. At the Clifton Water Polo Tournament<\/strong>, SACS won the final 7-6, and then, at the Hussar Grill SACS Water Polo Tournament<\/strong>, the hosts claimed a 6-3 win to secure the silverware.<\/p>\n

Rondebosch<\/strong> Boys’ High<\/strong> contributes three players to the squad – David van Zyl<\/strong>, Ethan Klerck<\/strong> and Ben Reiback<\/strong> – while the remaining place goes to goalkeeper Jordan De Sousa<\/strong> of Bishops<\/strong>, who was named in the Team of the Tournament at the Saints Water Polo Invitational.<\/p>\n

Paul Roos dominates the Province B team, with five of their players in the line-up. Rondebosch had four players selected,\u00a0Bishops and Wynberg Boys High<\/strong> two each, while Mac Lecuona<\/strong> is the only SACS player in the squad.<\/p>\n

The tournament splashes into action on the 9th<\/span>\u00a0of December <\/strong>and concludes\u00a0with the final on Wednesday, the 13th of December.<\/strong><\/p>\n
