\"\"Zimbabwe’s Falcon College<\/strong>, after two losses on day one of the 2024 Reef Cup Water Polo Invitational Tournament<\/strong>, played themselves back into contention on Friday with back-to-back victories.<\/p>\n

The school, from Esigodini<\/strong>, outplayed Afrikaanse Ho\u00ebr Meisieskool<\/strong> 23-3 and then were convincing 9-1 winners over St Peter’s College<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

They had begun their challenge with a tough setback, being blanked by the hosts and defending champions, St Stithians College<\/strong>, 0-16. Reddam House Umhlanga<\/strong> then handed them a 5-9 defeat.<\/p>\n

With a day’s action under the belt, Falcon were a different proposition on Friday. They were quickly into their stride against Affies, ramming home five goals in the first chukka to open up a 5-1 advantage.<\/p>\n

In the second chukka, they extended their lead to 14-2 and they were on their way to a confidence-inspiring day.<\/p>\n

Beaulieu College<\/strong> garnered their second win when they handed Rand Park High<\/strong> an 11-1 defeat.<\/p>\n

Four teams remain unbeaten: Roedean<\/strong> are top of Pool A, St Dominic’s Catholic School for Girls<\/strong> leads the way in Pool B, while Crawford College (Lonehill)<\/strong> is out front in Pool C, and St Stithians College has been tearing it up in Pool D and are comfortably out in front of their opposition.<\/p>\n

Saints added two more clear-cut wins on Friday, first downing St Peter’s College 11-1, which was followed by a 12-4 victory over Reddam House Umhlanga.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, the final standings in the pools will be determined, with the playoffs then commencing at midday.<\/p>\n

Hellenic Academy<\/strong> and Woodridge<\/strong> College set the ball in motion at 07:50 in the Olympic North Pool, while Reddam House Bedfordview<\/strong> and Parktown High School for Girls are first up in the Olympic South Pool.<\/p>\n
