With 18 boys’ teams and 18 girls’ teams, no division of the Schools Water Polo South Africa (SWPSA) Inter-Provincial Tournament<\/strong> is bigger than the u13 age group, and it heads into the playoffs on Tuesday after a very busy Monday.<\/span><\/p>\n

Boys
\n<\/strong>
\nWhen the dust had settled on the boys’ group stage games at St David’s Marist Inanda <\/strong>on Monday evening, Western Province A<\/strong> was alone atop Pool A.<\/p>\n

Western Province B<\/strong> emulated their provincial compatriots by also bagging three wins out of three to finish first in Pool B, while Central Gauteng C<\/strong> showed off the home province’s depth by rattling off five wins without defeat in Pool C. Boland<\/strong>, meanwhile, went for four in Pool D to take top spot.<\/p>\n

Western Province B claimed a prized scalp on Monday, winning 6-3 against Central Gauteng A<\/strong>. Province A pounded Nelson Mandela Bay A<\/strong> 13-3 behind six goals from Matthew Skeeles<\/strong>, while KZN A pummelled Zimbabwe A<\/strong> 23-2, with Mphilo<\/span> Khomo<\/span><\/strong> netting six times, and Evan Halstead<\/strong> and Troy Botha<\/strong> five times each.<\/span><\/p>\n

There’s an early start on Tuesday, with the first quarterfinal, between Central Gauteng B<\/strong> and KZN A, scheduled for 07:00.<\/p>\n

At 07:45, Central Gauteng A tackles Nelson Mandela Bay A in the second quarterfinal, with Western Province A and Buffalo City A<\/strong> squaring off in the third quarterfinal at 08:30, and Province B facing KZN B<\/strong> in the last of the quarterfinal games at 09:15.<\/p>\n

Girls<\/strong><\/p>\n

After the completion of the girls’ group stage games at St Stithians College<\/strong>, Western Province A<\/strong> and Central Gauteng A<\/strong> maintained undefeated records.<\/p>\n

Behind the prolific Sarah Mocke<\/strong>‘s six goals, Province A trounced Nelson Mandela Bay A<\/strong> 13-3 in their lone outing on Monday. The hosts, meanwhile, were idle.<\/p>\n

Central Gauteng B<\/strong> finished first in Pool C, while KZN B<\/strong> won all four of their games to finish first in Pool D.<\/p>\n

Tuesday’s matches begin with the first quarterfinal at 08:00, between Buffalo City A<\/strong> and KZN A.<\/strong> It’s followed by the last eight clash between Western Province B<\/strong> and Eastern Gauteng A<\/strong> at 08:45. Then, at 09:30, it’s Western Province A vs KZN B<\/strong> in the third semi-final, and Central Gauteng A takes on Nelson Mandela Bay A<\/strong> in the last of the semis at 10:15.<\/p>\n
