The Reddam House Bedfordview <\/strong>girls’ first team and the Reddam House Helderfontein<\/strong> boys’ first team clinched the 2024 Steyn City Water Polo Tournament <\/strong>titles on Sunday at Steyn City School<\/strong> after three days of competition.<\/p>\n

Reddam House Bedfordview cantered to the girls’ crown, downing the St Stithians Girls College’s<\/strong> second\u00a0team 9-3 in the final.<\/p>\n

From their first game to their last, the Reddam girls were large and in charge. They opened their challenge with a comfortable 8-1 win over Steyn City School and were even more dominant in their next two group outings, thumping Reddam House Helderfontein 15-1 and Rand Park Ridge<\/strong> 20-0.<\/p>\n

That left them with 43 goals scored and only two conceded after their group games. No other team came close to matching Reddam Bedfordview’s prolific scoring record.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the silver medallists, St Stithians,<\/strong> endured a rough start, going down 2-5 to the Parktown High School for Girls’<\/strong> first team and Crawford Lonehill<\/strong> by the same score.<\/p>\n

In their final pool game, Saints pulled off a 3-1 victory over Roedean<\/strong>‘s second side. That win was enough to earn St Stithians a place in the quarterfinals, where they faced Steyn City. In a closely contested clash, Saints dug deep to pull out a 6-4 win.<\/p>\n

In the semi-finals, they kept rolling, snatching a nail-biting 4-3 win over Crawford Lonehill to reverse their earlier loss to the same opposition in their pool game.<\/p>\n

In the boys’ competition, there was little in it, but Reddam House Helderfontein<\/strong> had enough firepower to pull off a 7-5 victory over Steyn City School <\/strong>in the final.\u00a0Both sides had emerged from their pools with unblemished records.<\/p>\n

Steyn City<\/strong> blanked Crawford Lonehill 4-0 in their first match, then beat the Pretoria Boys High <\/strong>second team 4-2. The Affies second side pushed them all the way, but Steyn City sneaked a 6-5 win in that contest. It was more comfortable against the St Benedict’s College <\/strong>second side, with Steyn City claiming a convincing 8-2 victory.<\/p>\n

Reddam House Helderfontein scored more freely in their pool matches. They powered out of the gate with an 18-4 win over Rand Park Ridge<\/strong> and followed up with a 12-2 romp against the St Alban’s College<\/strong> second side. They, then, secured full points with a 7-4 defeat of Reddam House Bedfordview<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Affies finished third, with Reddam Bedfordview fourth, Crawford Lonehill fifth, and Pretoria Boys High School sixth.<\/p>\n
