The 2nd and 3rd Teams competed in the Pearson 2nd Team Water Polo Tournament in Port Elizabeth.

We are thrilled to announce that our 2nd water polo team emerged Gold Medal Winners after four days of intense competition. The team played exceptional water polo, remaining unbeaten. After topping their pool they advanced directly to the quarter-finals, where they triumphed over Grey High School with a score of 7-2. In the semi-finals, they faced a determined Paul Roos team and secured a 7-3 victory. The final against Selborne College was a nail-biting, high-paced match, tied at 0-0 after the first chukka. However, our 2nd team showcased their teamwork and skill, ultimately winning 8-4 to claim the title for the first time. Their excellent performance in the pool was matched by their exemplary allround sportsmanship. Special accolades go to Christo le Roux, who was named Defender of the Tournament, and Elijah Fisher, who was awarded Goalkeeper of the Tournament.

Our Bishops 3rd team also displayed tenacity throughout the pool stage matches, finishing 3rd in their pool. This achievement earned them a spot in the playoffs, where they faced the Rondebosch 2nd team. In a stunning upset they won  3-1, showcasing thier grit and skill. Unfortunately, their journey ended in the quarterfinals against a formidable Wynberg team. Nevertheless, the Bishops 3rds finished the tournament as the highest placed 3rd team with a commendable 6th place.

We commend the players from both teams for their outstanding team spirit and exemplary behaviour throughout the tour.
