\"\"The big guns were in fine form, sweeping their pools, on day one of the 19th edition of the <\/span>Old Petrian’s Annual Girls U19 Water Polo Tournament,<\/b> hosted by <\/span>St. Peter\u2019s College<\/b>. <\/span><\/p>\n

The event got underway on Thursday morning and runs until Sunday afternoon when the creme de la creme will compete for the trophy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Two venues, <\/span>St Peter’s Prep Girls <\/b>and the <\/span>Wahoo Aquatic Centre, <\/b>are hosting the big 27-team event.<\/span><\/p>\n

First out of the blocks was <\/span>Reddam House Constantia.<\/b> The former champions played the opening game and got off to an absolute flier with a 12-1 drubbing of <\/span>Rustenburg<\/b>.\u00a0<\/span>Leading the charge was <\/span>Hannah Banks<\/b>. <\/span><\/p>\n

In 2023, Banks was one of the top scorers at the <\/span>Inter-Provincial Tournament,<\/b> where she helped <\/span>Western Province<\/b> reach the final. Her outstanding performances at the IPT earned her a maiden call-up to the South Africa Under-18 side. Against Rustenburg, she showed that class with five goals.<\/span><\/p>\n

Banks repeated the feat, netting another five, when Reddam downed <\/span>Pretoria Girls <\/b>18-0.<\/span><\/p>\n

Defending champions <\/span>St. Stithians<\/b> put out a statement of intent on day one with back-to-back wins over 2022 champions, <\/span>Crawford College (Lonehill)<\/b>, and <\/span>Alexander Road<\/b>. <\/span><\/p>\n

In their first match, the defending champions eased their way into the tournament with a 13-4 win in which seven players scored goals. <\/span>Courtney Calenborne<\/b> and <\/span>Gina Sguazzin<\/b> kicked off their campaigns with hat-tricks.<\/span><\/p>\n

Calenborne made it two hat-tricks in a day when she joined <\/span>Erin Blackburn <\/b>(5), <\/span>Cadha Mosehla <\/b>(4) and <\/span>Hannah Lloyd<\/b> (3) on a scoring spree that saw Saints put 23 goals past Alex Road with no reply. Unlike their showing against Crawford, where they made a few fouls and allowed the opposition opportunities on goal, the defending champs were clinical against Alex Road. They committed only one foul compared to Alex Road’s 10.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Durban Girls’ College <\/b>came into the tournament feeling optimistic and buoyant following their title-winning campaign at the <\/span>National Aquatic Festival<\/b>, hosted by <\/span>Maris Stella <\/b>earlier in the month, and did not disappoint. Coach <\/span>Peter Lavett’<\/b>s team had no trouble converting those feelings into a match-winning performance.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kayla Andrews<\/b>, who had a good u16 campaign at the Schools Water Polo South Africa Tournament<\/strong>, <\/span>last December, led the KwaZulu-Natal team with eight goals across two matches. She netted six and two against St Peter’s and Rustenburg, respectively.<\/span><\/p>\n

Herschel<\/b> shrugged off <\/span>Rand Park<\/b>‘s and <\/span>Hudson Park<\/b>‘s attempts at competition with emphatic wins. First, they dealt out a 23-0 whipping to Rand Park and then eased past Hudson Park 14-3. The star for Herschel in both matches was <\/span>Emily van Heerden<\/b>, who scored a total of seven goals.<\/span><\/p>\n
