The favoured teams at the Vides Water Polo Tournament, <\/strong>being hosted by Selborne College<\/strong> in East London, got off to a perfect start on Thursday, asserting themselves in the pool and collecting maximum points.<\/p>\n

Clifton College<\/strong>, Paul Roos<\/strong>, St Andrew’s College<\/strong>, Reddam House Constantia<\/strong>, and Selborne were a cut above the rest, although the boys from Makhanda were pushed hard.<\/p>\n

KwaZulu-Natal’s Clifton kicked matters off with an emphatic 23-7 win over Gqeberha’s Pearson High School<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Makhanda’s St Andrew’s College found St Alban’s College to be a tough test in the Clarendon High<\/strong> Swimming Pool. There was little in it, but St Andrew’s eventually sneaked a 6-5 win.<\/p>\n

Reddam House came into the event off the back of an 8-14 loss to Paul Roos in round four of the SACS Nite Series the previous day. They, however, looked like a different side, and dominated every facet of their game against Woodridge College, netting 17 goals, while conceding only six.<\/p>\n

Paul Roos, on the other hand, made light work of Grey High, scoring 15 times, while the boys from Gqeberha replied with nine goals of their own.<\/p>\n

The final match of the day at the Selborne College pool was a clash between the hosts and Cape Town’s Wynberg Boys High.<\/p>\n

Wynberg started the brighter when they opened the scoring early in the first quarter through Aden de Costa.<\/p>\n

Selborne launched several attacks on the Wynberg defence, but Christian Foxx remained resolute in the cage, keeping his side in the battle.<\/p>\n

Then, coach Storm Siebert<\/strong>‘s side came out firing in the second chukka, netting twice through Armand van Rooyen<\/strong>\u00a0and Mitchell Holl<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

De Costa<\/strong> scored two more goals for Wynberg, to snag a hattrick, but his goals were cancelled out in the final two chukkas when Van Rooeyn scored his second before Liam Hansen<\/strong> made his presence felt with a hattrick.<\/p>\n

Selborne put the nail in the coffin when Daniel Breetzke<\/strong> got his name onto the scoresheet to seal an 8-4 win for the hosts.<\/p>\n

In other matches at the Clarendon Pool, St David\u2019s Marist Inanda<\/strong> defeated the Grey High 2nd<\/sup> team 16-2, while Grey College<\/strong> saw off Stirling High<\/strong>, taking a 12-5 win.<\/p>\n

Day two’s action begins with a clash between Grey High and Selborne Collegians<\/strong> at 08:00<\/strong> at the main pool.<\/p>\n

The Grey High 2nd<\/sup> team will face Clifton College at the Clarendon Pool.<\/p>\n
