The action kicked off with the defending champions, St David’s Marist Inanda<\/strong>, taking on the Western Cape’s Paarl Boys’ High<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Drawn in Pool C, St David’s is among the favourites to win the tournament, and they proved why, securing a 9-3 victory to begin their title defence.<\/p>\n

Coach Dean Whyte<\/strong>‘s boys weren’t at their best, but they got the job done in the second half, courtesy of some sharp shooting in front of goal.<\/p>\n

Michaelhouse<\/strong> and Reddam House Constantia<\/strong> also added ticks to the win column.<\/p>\n
