Only one team, South African College High School<\/strong> (SACS)<\/strong>, owned a perfect record after two days of action at the St Andrew\u2019s College (SAC) Shield Water Polo Tournament<\/a><\/strong> in Makhanda.<\/p>\n

After a captivating opening day on Thursday<\/a><\/strong>, the teams returned to action on Friday, seeking momentum and rhythm with the playoffs looming.<\/p>\n

Pool A, the group of death, delivered some interesting results, while Pool B remained tightly contested, with almost nothing to separate the sides.<\/p>\n

Bishops Diocesan College<\/strong> entered the day unbeaten, but that record was tarnished early when they went down 7-11 to Clifton College<\/strong>.\u00a0It was an outstanding performance by the KwaZulu-Natal side as they suffocated Bishops and restricted their go-to players.<\/p>\n

At the other end of the pool, they were clinical. They took their opportunities brilliantly, with Kyle Human<\/strong>, Taylor Seiler<\/strong>, Nathan Burger<\/strong>, Nabil Bejia<\/strong>, and Daniel Northard<\/strong> getting on the scoresheet.<\/p>\n
