Nelson Mandela Bay light-up Day 2 of the u19 IPT for Girls
GQEBERHA. – The hosts, Nelson Mandela Bay, awakened on Day 2 of the annual u19 Water Polo IPT for Girls here.
The side drew 16-all against Western Province in what was surely the most entertaining match thus far in the tournament.
This clash was played at Alexander Road’s swimming pool and produced everything that a final needs. Suspense, drama as well as some superb performances.
They also smashed the Northern Tigers by 32-2 in the main match of the day in the Newton Park pool with Olivia Connellan (7), Jasmine Witthuhn (5), Jorja Ross (4) and Amy Wilson (4) being responsible for the bulk of the goals.
The Northern Tigers experienced a tough day at the office as they also were on the receiving end against Zimbabwe (1-30) earlier in the day. Their goal by Ngandu Muzungu however was probably the highlight of the match and probably one of the best during the day.
The defending champions, Central Gauteng, kept their unbeaten record in place by beating KwaZulu-Natal by 15-3. They will face Buffalo City and Eastern Gauteng on Day 3 in their final two pool matches of the tournament. Mia Loizides scored five goals in the victory over KwaZulu-Natal to count herself amongst the top goal scorers thus far in Gqeberha.
The highlight of Day 3 might be the clash between Western Province and Central Gauteng’s B-side.
