\"\"The 2024 Schools Water Polo South Africa Inter-Provincial (IPT)<\/strong> kicked off on 7 December in East London, with the senior teams opening the event. On Sunday, it was the turn of the u16s to get in on the action.<\/p>\n

The girls’ competition delivered an array of entertaining and high-scoring contests, which were confirmation for some that their planning had been on the mark while, for others, it might be a case of back to the drawing board.<\/p>\n

Central Gauteng A<\/strong>, Nelson Mandela Bay<\/strong>, and KwaZulu-Natal A<\/strong> started strongly and finished the day unbeaten.<\/p>\n

Jenna Blaauw<\/strong>, Cadha Mosehla<\/strong>, and Rylee Rogers<\/strong> netted four times each to help power Central Gauteng A to a 25-0 thrashing of Eastern Gauteng<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It was an impressive showing on both ends of the pool from the winners. Coach Masimbonge Namba<\/strong>‘s side dominated the game throughout, stacking goal after goal while denying Eastern Gauteng any opportunities to retaliate.<\/p>\n

They built on their good work in the morning with another emphatic victory in their second outing, handing the KwaZulu-Natal B<\/strong> side a 17-5 defeat.<\/p>\n

Matters didn’t improve much for Eastern Gauteng after their big loss to their neighbours. They were well beaten by Nelson Mandela second time out, going down 5-18.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, in a very tight, evenly contested clash, Western Province A and Buffalo City<\/strong> shared a 6-6 draw. Province, though, sneaked a win after a penalty shootout, which they won 3-1.<\/p>\n

Kara Batting<\/strong> starred for the home team, firing five goals into the back of the Province net, while Megan Phillips<\/strong> also got in on the act. Province goals were spread wider among their players, with Jemma Pearse<\/strong> scoring twice, and Jade Jarvis<\/strong>, Charlotte Wiltshire<\/strong>, Holly Strydom<\/strong>, and Abigail Weatherall<\/strong> also slotting.<\/p>\n

Coach Chad Gabriels<\/strong>‘ Western Province A made light work of Central Gauteng B<\/strong> in their second match, cruising to a 22-2 victory, which was the second-highest score of the day.<\/p>\n

Zimbabwe<\/strong> fell 3-12 to KwaZulu-Natal A in their opener, but they made it into the winners’ column with a 10-3 victory over Central Gauteng B later in the day.<\/p>\n
