Central Gauteng<\/strong>, one of the traditional powerhouses of schools’ water polo, has announced its teams for the forthcoming Schools Water Polo South Africa Inter-Provincial Tournament<\/strong>, which takes place in Buffalo City from 7-11 December.<\/p>\n

The event includes 123 teams of girls and boys, in the u13, u14, u15, u16, and u19 age groups, among them the Aussie Crocs<\/strong>, from Queensland, Australia, who will contest the boys’ u19 competition, which takes place at the Joan Harrison Aquatic Complex<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Other hosting venues are Clarendon High School for Girls<\/strong>, Selborne Primary School<\/strong>, Selborne College<\/strong>, Hudson Park High School<\/strong>, and Merrifield Preparatory School and College<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Central Gauteng boys’ team was one of the top-performing teams of 2023, going down 7-8 in a penalty shootout in the final<\/strong> <\/a>against Western Province after the teams had played to a thrilling 8-8 draw. They will, once again, be coached by Jon-Marc de Carvalho<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Five players who were part of that side are included in the 2024 lineup. They include three boys from St John’s College<\/strong>, Greg Pryce<\/strong>, Ross Rovelli<\/strong>, and Nicholas Searle;<\/strong>\u00a0St Stithians<\/strong>‘ Marc Smith;<\/strong>\u00a0and Karabo Mamaregane,<\/strong> of King Edward VII (KES)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Sebastian Bruinders<\/strong> completes the St John’s contingent of four players, while Mamaregane, who netted a hat-trick when Central Gauteng won the Currie Cup<\/strong> <\/a>in March, is joined by three others from KES, Judah Dos Santos<\/strong>, Harry Wilkins<\/strong>, and Jack Wilkins<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Marc Smith is joined by two team-mates from Saints<\/strong>, James Crick<\/strong> and Declan Wood<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

St David’s Marist Inanda<\/strong>, who placed fifth at the St Stithians Invitational Water Polo<\/strong><\/a>, the second-highest finish for Gauteng sides behind St John’s, who placed third, have Mark Hudson<\/strong> and Ross Stuart<\/strong> in the team.<\/p>\n

A very interesting inclusion is that of Alexander Kelbrick<\/strong>, from Affies<\/strong>. He opted, as he is allowed to do, to attend Central Gauteng trials and was included in the team. He’s a dangerous attacker and was one of the event’s leading goalscorers at last year’s IPT for the Northern Tigers<\/strong>. His Affies’ team-mate, Francois Hartslief<\/strong>, was included in the Central Gauteng u19B<\/strong> team.<\/p>\n
