The St David’s Marist Inanda<\/strong> 1st water polo side produced a well-rounded and clinical performance to defeat St Andrew’s College <\/strong>9-5 in the final of the Vides Water Polo Tournament<\/strong> in East London on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The tournament, hosted by Selborne College<\/strong>, began on Thursday, and after three days of jam-packed action, St David’s and St Andrew’s were, by far, the most deserving to contest the final. They impressed all weekend long.<\/p>\n

In their journey to the title game, coach Dean Whyte<\/strong>‘s Inanda boys were dominant, scoring bucketloads of goals while playing with assurance at the opposite end of the pool.<\/p>\n

They opened their campaign with a 19-3 whipping of Pearson High<\/a><\/strong> before outplaying Grey College<\/strong> 13-2. A narrow 8-7 win over Paul Roos Gimnasium<\/strong> (PRG)<\/strong> put them into the quarterfinals.<\/p>\n

The Johannesburg outfit shrugged off Michaelhouse<\/strong> 6-4 in the last eight and then thumped Clifton College<\/strong> 11-4 in the semi-finals.<\/p>\n

St Andrew’s, led by coach Grant Mackenzie<\/strong>, had a similar run, also going unbeaten in the group stages.<\/p>\n

They beat PRG in their quarterfinal<\/a><\/strong> before shocking the hosts, Selborne, 7-3 to book a spot in the title game.<\/p>\n
