\"\"The hosts were the in-form team during the first two rounds of the Old Mutual Roedean School Water Polo Prestige Cup,<\/strong> hosted in Johannesburg over the weekend.<\/p>\n

The competition, which is into its 12th<\/sup> year, returned with 10 schools locking horns over two days. There’ll be a long break until the final round, which takes place later this year, in October.<\/p>\n

Apart from its competitive nature, the tournament is also used to encourage the participating schools to support under-resourced schools through the Learn-To-Swim-Programme<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Schools are urged to partner with and make their swimming facilities available to neighbouring schools to roll out the vital programme.<\/p>\n

Last year’s winners, St Stithians College<\/strong>, were seeded in a pool of death alongside Roedean<\/strong>, St Mary’s Waverley<\/strong>, who had recently beaten them in the National Aquatics Festival<\/a>, Rand Park<\/strong> and Beaulieu College<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Etienne Le Roux’<\/strong>s charges got off to a shaky start, going down 4-7 against the hosts in their opener on Saturday.<\/p>\n

They did, however, bounce back with an emphatic 24-4 triumph over Beaulieu<\/strong> to end the opening day on a high note.<\/p>\n

It was Reddam House Bedfordview<\/strong> who bossed pool B, claiming victories in both of their opening encounters, over Kingsmead and St Peter’s College respectively.<\/p>\n

Each team played two matches on day two, and it was Roedean who started matters off with a 21-5 win over Beaulieu, before thumping Rand Park 25-0 in the fourth game of the day.<\/p>\n

St Mary’s Waverley missed out on second place, despite also defeating Beaulieu. They were beaten 12-6 by Saints, who which secured second spot in Pool A for the winners.<\/p>\n

The final three matches of the day produced 39 goals with Reddam House Bedfordview<\/strong> scoring 17 of those against a disjointed Crawford Lonehill <\/strong>side.<\/p>\n

Bad weather, unfortunately, led to the last match, between Kingsmead College and Crawford, being called off.<\/p>\n

The final round of action takes place on 12 October.<\/p>\n
