\"\"The teams that had made a strong start to the Old Petrians’ Water Polo Tournament<\/strong> on Thursday continued to deliver authoritative performances on day two of the big event, which has brought together 28 teams from across South Africa.<\/p>\n

Roedean<\/strong> kept their winning run going by collecting 26 goals from only two games, with one-sided wins over Alexander Road<\/strong> and Crawford College Lonehill<\/strong>. They won 14-1 against Alex and 12-1 against Crawford.<\/p>\n

Clarendon High School for Girls<\/strong> enjoyed a good day and edged out another of the Eastern Cape teams, Diocesan School for Girls (DSG)<\/strong> 5-4. Later, Clarendon handed St Peter’s College<\/strong> a 7-2 loss.<\/p>\n

It has been a tough two days for the hosts, who have won only one of their five games, and that required a shootout to get one over Rustenburg Girls’ High School<\/strong>. Still, it’s been even tougher for Alexander Road. They remain winless.<\/p>\n

Their results on Friday included a 2-6 loss to Rustenburg. It wasn’t close against DSG, who netted 14 times without reply, with Alexandra Ovendale<\/strong>, Mia Jenner<\/strong>, and Lucy Rutherfoord<\/strong> all scoring hat-tricks. Carys Johnstone<\/strong> scored twice and further goals came from Angelique Myers<\/strong>, Lila De Romijn<\/strong>, and Abigail Holderness<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Pool B’s Rand Park High School<\/strong> has also been having a tough time. Reddam House Constantia<\/strong> outplayed them 19-0, with Jessica Bester<\/strong> scoring six times.<\/p>\n

Wynberg Girls’ High School<\/strong> broke their win drought with an 8-1 defeat of Rand Park, but they were well beaten in their second game, losing 0-12 to Collegiate Girls’ High School<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In Pool C, Zimbabwe’s Chisipite<\/strong>, after scoring two wins on Thursday, won only one of their four matches on Friday. The visitors had a good morning, sneaking by St Mary’s Waverley<\/strong> 3-2, but St Stithians College<\/strong> hung a first defeat on them, winning 8-4.<\/p>\n

Kingswood College<\/strong> also doubled up Chisipite, winning 6-3, and St Cyprian’s<\/strong> claimed a penalty shootout win after the sides had played to a 5-5 draw.<\/p>\n

In Pool D, the defending champions,<\/strong> <\/a>Herschel Girls High School<\/strong>, and Durban Girls’ College (DGC)<\/strong> racked up three wins each.<\/p>\n

Herschel thumped Pearson High School<\/strong> 13-4 before cruising to a 21-0 victory over Reddam House Helderfontein<\/strong>. Reddam also fell 4-16 to DGC. St Dominic’s<\/strong> tested Herschel, but the Capetonians recorded a 6-3 win.<\/p>\n

Apart from their win over Reddam House Helderfontein, DGC brushed aside Springfield Convent School<\/strong> 12-1. They also scored a hard-fought 4-1 win over Kingsmead College<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
