\"\"Western Province <\/strong>claimed top honours in both the boys’ and girls’ u14 events at the Schools Water Polo South Africa Inter-Provincial Tournament <\/strong>in Johannesburg on Wednesday.<\/span><\/p>\n

Western Province A beat Central Gauteng A<\/strong> 7-5 in the boys’ final, and Western Province A shut down a high-powered KwaZulu-Natal in the girls’ final, winning 5-3.<\/p>\n

Boys<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Capetonians carried some confidence into the final after a hard-fought 6-5 win over the side they were up against, Central Gauteng A, in a key Group B game. Until the title decider, that was the home team’s only loss, although they had needed a penalty shootout to get by KwaZulu-Natal A<\/strong> in the semi-finals.<\/p>\n

With the win in the final in St David’s Marist Inanda<\/strong>‘s Fourvi\u00e8re Pool<\/strong>, WP A completed an unbeaten run to the title.<\/p>\n

KwaZulu-Natal was surely pleased to have both of their teams reach the semi-finals. It must have stung a little, though, to have them play one another for third place on Wednesday after both lost in the final four. Victory went the way of KZN A by an 11-5 margin.<\/p>\n

Nelson Mandela Bay<\/strong> signed off in style, keeping their neighbours, Buffalo City<\/strong>, scoreless in the fifth-place playoff, which ended 5-0.<\/p>\n

Western Province B<\/strong> ended seventh after a 10-6 defeat of Zimbabwe<\/strong>, while Central Gauteng B<\/strong> placed ninth following a 6-4 win over Northerns A<\/strong>, for whom Matthew King<\/strong> scored twice. He finished with 12 goals, the joint-fourth highest scorer in the tournament.<\/p>\n

William King<\/strong>, though, topped the goal-scoring charts, finishing with 11 more goals than KZN’s Cooper Morrison<\/strong>, who filled second place. King had 28 and Morrison 17.<\/p>\n

Northerns B<\/strong> dealt Eastern Gauteng<\/strong> a 6-3 loss to finish eleventh.<\/p>\n

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

In a tight arm wrestle in which KwaZulu-Natal A<\/strong>‘s Ella Macqueen <\/strong>was the only player to score more than one goal – she scored two – Western Province A <\/strong>held off KZN A to claim the girls’ gold, also in St David’s Fourvi\u00e8re Pool<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

With that win, they ended KZN’s clean record and kept theirs intact.<\/p>\n

Central Gauteng A<\/strong>, beaten 10-5 by KZN A in the group stage, before losing out in a penalty shootout to WP A in the semi-finals, cruised to a 10-3 win over KZN B<\/strong> to finish third.<\/p>\n

Zimbabwe<\/strong> powered their way to a 10-7 victory over Western Province B<\/strong> in the fifth-place playoff, while Nelson Mandela Bay (NMB)<\/strong> ended seventh after a 7-4 win over Eastern Gauteng<\/strong>. Grace Thomas<\/strong> scored a hat-trick for NMB and Erin Caminsky<\/strong> achieved the same feat for Easterns.<\/p>\n

Ninth went to Buffalo City<\/strong> after an 8-2 success against Eden Districts<\/strong>, and Central Gauteng B<\/strong> overran Northerns<\/strong> 13-1 to end eleventh.<\/p>\n

Despite being kept off the scoresheet in the final, KZN A’s Ella Chalupsky<\/strong> was comfortably the tournament’s top goal scorer, striking 22 times. Zimbabwe’s Danni McCoun<\/strong> and Emma Loubser<\/strong>, of Eden Districts, tied for second with 15 goals each.<\/p>\n
