Thursday nights Prescient Summer league waterpolo fixtures<br />
saw no upsets in the mens 1st division, with both SACS old <br />
Boys and UCT winning easily.<br />
<br />
In the ladies section, the pick of the games was the match up<br />
between Maties and Silvertree, which ended up in a 7 all draw.<br />
Should prove to be a tough campaign for those two teams in<br />
their quest for the summer knock out cup title! In the other ladies <br />
fixture, SACS ladies beat the University of Stellenbosch side.<br />
<br />
In the 2nd Division Old Westerfordians beat the much fancied<br />
Varsity Old Boys.<br />
<br />
Both SACS men and Ladies 1st teams are topping their respective<br />
logs, with the SACS 2nd team toping the 2nd League pool B and<br />
the much fancied RWC (Rondebosch Waterpolo Club) mens 2nd<br />
team topping Pool A.<br />
<br />
Its still early days, but the excitement is building in the battle to<br />
reach the finals being played at Newlands on Friday 19th March.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2091705047476647856.post-10377356793715960562010-02-17T04:20:00.000-08:002010-02-17T04:22:04.023-08:00Results of 1st round of Summer Knock Out Competition<span style="color: blue;"><strong>SACS men beat Ikeys men 10 - 6</strong></span><br />

Water polo is now popular in many countries around the world, notably Europe (particularly in Hungary, Greece, Italy, Russia, Croatia, Serbia, Montenegro), the United States, Canada and Australia. The present-day game involves teams of seven players (plus up to six substitutes), with a water polo ball similar in size to a soccer ball but constructed of waterproof nylon. The game was also influenced by a man named Stéphane Ličina, who also played the game of water polo.<br />
