Fixtures and teams in action at the Bishops Water Polo Tournament

The schools’ water polo season has officially moved into gear in the Western Cape, just days after learners returned for the new academic year.
The action gets underway on Saturday, 18 January, when Bishops Diocesan College hosts its highly anticipated water polo tournament in the southern suburbs.
The one-day event seeks to continue Bishops’ 175th anniversary celebrations, which saw the school host a rugby and hockey festival last year.
The teams invited to the prestigious tournament include Bishops’ local neighbouring schools, SACS, Rondebosch Boys’ High, and Wynberg Boys’ High.
Reddam House Constantia, Paarl Boys’ High, and Paul Roos Gimnasium (PRG), who recently hosted a pre-season festival, will also be a part of the action.
It will be the second consecutive week that the Cape sides meet after facing each other at the PRG festival a week ago.
Scores were not recorded at the PRG event. That wasn’t the focus of the pre-season outing. However, SuperSport Schools Plus understands that the matches were tightly contested and a very competitive season is expected.
The Bishops tournament will give coaches a further opportunity to answer critical questions about their squads before the SACS Nite Series kicks off on 21 January.
It’s also a chance for SACS and Bishops to sharpen their skills ahead of the SAC Shield, which SACS won last year by beating rivals Bishops 9-7 in the final.
The early season tournament furthers offers an opportunity to see which players have returned and who the newcomers are.
The action kicks off with a clash between SACS and Reddam House at 08:00 and will conclude with a humdinger when the hosts face SACS at 14:40.
