If there were any doubts about the quality of the stayers’ teams on show at the St Stithians College Water Polo Invitational Tournament<\/a><\/strong>, those were quickly dispelled on Thursday, day one of the tournament in Johannesburg.<\/p>\n

The much-anticipated event, which runs until Sunday, 18 October, delivered some outstanding goals and individual performances, with some of the ballyhooed teams making their presence felt.<\/p>\n

A whopping 323 goals were scored, with only nine teams out of 20 ending the day with their unbeaten records intact.<\/p>\n

The action began bright and early with a Pool A<\/strong> clash between Bishops Diocesan College<\/strong> and Michaelhouse<\/strong>.\u00a0Bishops, after a steady start, ran rampant in the second half and thumped their opponents 14-3.<\/p>\n

The Jabulani Sibiya<\/strong>-coached side later overwhelmed King Edward VII<\/strong> (KES)<\/strong> 17-3 in their second game to occupy top spot overnight.<\/p>\n

Joining them on maximum points was their provincial rival, Rondebosch Boys\u2019 High<\/strong>, who were almost as dominant.<\/p>\n

Led by the powerful and skilful Noah Reiback<\/a><\/strong>, the Cape side scored 12 against KES before thumping Pearson High<\/strong>\u00a015-2 later in the day.<\/p>\n
