The most impressive teams from day one of the National Co-Ed Water Polo Tournament, Reddam House Bedfordview<\/strong>, in the girls’ division, and Pearson High<\/strong>, in the boys’ competition – continued to make their presence felt on Friday, at Pearson, in Gqeberha.<\/p>\n

In Pool A of the girls’ competition, Reddam House Bedfordview <\/strong>added two more wins to the two they scored on Thursday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

They were given a tough workout in their first assignment on Friday by Beaulieu College<\/strong> but claimed a 4-2 win, with Alisha Beswick<\/strong> scoring three and Caitlin Scrimgeour<\/strong> netting Reddam’s other. Jaime Napier<\/strong> and Jessica Muller<\/strong> replied for Beaulieu. In their second match, Reddam rolled to an 11-1 win over Woodridge College<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Beaulieu, who beat Merrifield College<\/strong> and Woodridge on day one, bounced back from their loss with a big 15-4 win over Steyn City School<\/strong>. Woodridge, meanwhile, beat Merrifield 9-4.<\/p>\n

Merrifield and Steyn City tied at 10-10, but Merrifield won 3-1 on penalties.<\/p>\n

In Pool B, four goals from Jorja Linke <\/strong>and further strikes from with Nicola Schwartz<\/strong> and Jordan van Eek<\/strong> helped Stirling maintain their lead at the top of the standings after a 6-3 win over Thomas More College<\/strong>. Westerford High <\/strong>outplayed Alexander Road<\/strong> 11-2.<\/p>\n

Pearson <\/strong>clinched a hard-fought 4-2 win over St Peter’s<\/strong> College in Pool C. With St Peter’s having won both of their day one games, and Pearson having gone one and one, it was a crucial victory. Hudson Park<\/strong> enjoyed a smooth 12-2 win over Curro Hillcrest<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Glenwood House<\/strong> enjoyed a good day in Pool D, where they battled their way to two hard-fought wins. After defeating NMMU\/VC Invitational<\/strong> 5-2, they played to a 3-3 draw with Crawford Lonehill<\/strong> but won the penalty shootout 2-0.<\/p>\n

Kingswood College <\/strong>suffered a narrow 5-6 loss to the Invitational<\/strong> team but overran Rand Park High <\/strong>16-1. Crawford Lonehill<\/strong> also beat Rand Park, winning 11-2.<\/p>\n

In cross-pool fixtures,\u00a0Beaulieu overcame Westerford 7-3, while Thomas More edged out Woodridge 4-3 in a thrilling encounter. Hudson Park impressed in a 7-3 win over Crawford Lonehill, and Pearson escaped with a dramatic 5-4 victory over Glenwood House.<\/p>\n

In the boys’ competition, Pearson extended their perfect start in Pool A, recording two solid wins – 5-1 over Curro Hillcrest and 7-2 over Kingswood College<\/strong>. The Invitational side downed Rand Park 9-3 but lost to Kingswood after a penalty shootout.<\/p>\n

Reddam House Bedfordview edged out Stirling High 4-3 in a tense Pool B clash, while Steyn City maintained their winning form with a 4-1 triumph over Thomas More College, with Brett Litten (x2), Zack Thomas<\/strong>, and Cobus Lombard<\/strong> netting for Steyn City, while Jack Morgan replied for Thomas More.<\/p>\n

In Pool C, Woodridge College continued their fine form, posting a dominant 12-4 win over Westerford. Meanwhile, Reddam House Helderfontein<\/strong> picked up their first victory of the tournament with a narrow 7-6 defeat of Merrifield College.<\/p>\n
