Bishops 1^st Water polo team had a very successful and enjoyable weekend playing in the KES Waterpolo Tournament in Johannesburg. It is the most significant tournament for top Water polo playing schools in the country.
The Bishops team won all their pool games against the likes of Westville, Pretoria Boys and St Stithians College, before progressing to the quarter-finals against Rondebosch. Bishops pulled away in the 3^rd quarter leaving Rondebosch too much to chase. It was a tough match played in great spirit. The next game was against St John’s College in the semi-final. St John’s were in admirable form and ran away with a solid lead in the first quarter. Despite a valid effort to wrestle back from the slow start, it was too much. The 3^rd/4^th playoff was another close encounter with the Bishops team showing grit to claim victory over Clifton. 
The Team and coaching staff can be very proud of their bronze medal performance, and take pride in Nick Steinhagen and Dean Sneddon being selected for the tournament team while also being honoured for their conduct in the pool, winning the Fair Play Trophy.
