The schools\u2019 water polo season has officially moved into gear in the Western Cape, just days after learners returned for the new academic year.<\/p>\n

The action gets underway on Saturday, 18 January, when Bishops Diocesan College<\/strong> hosts its highly anticipated water polo tournament in the southern suburbs.<\/p>\n

The one-day event seeks to continue Bishops\u2019 175th anniversary<\/strong> celebrations, which saw the school host a rugby<\/a> and hockey festival<\/a> last year.<\/p>\n

The teams invited to the prestigious tournament include Bishops’ local neighbouring schools, SACS<\/strong>, Rondebosch Boys’ High<\/strong>, and Wynberg Boys’ High<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Reddam House Constantia<\/strong>, Paarl Boys’ High<\/strong>, and Paul Roos Gimnasium<\/strong> (PRG), who recently hosted a pre-season festival<\/a>, will also be a part of the action.<\/p>\n

It will be the second consecutive week that the Cape sides meet after facing each other at the PRG festival a week ago.<\/p>\n

Scores were not recorded at the PRG event. That wasn’t the focus of the pre-season outing. However, SuperSport Schools Plus<\/strong> understands that the matches were tightly contested and a very competitive season is expected.<\/p>\n

The Bishops tournament will give coaches a further opportunity to answer critical questions about their squads before the SACS Nite Series<\/strong> kicks off on 21 January.<\/p>\n

It’s also a chance for SACS and Bishops to sharpen their skills ahead of the SAC Shield<\/strong>, which SACS won last year by beating rivals Bishops 9-7 in the final<\/a>. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The early season tournament furthers offers an opportunity to see which players have returned and who the newcomers are.<\/p>\n

The action kicks off with a clash between SACS and Reddam House at 08:00 and will conclude with a humdinger when the hosts face SACS at 14:40.<\/p>\n
