Super League Played out in dying seconds!

After a long season of intense water polo, the result of the men's league came down to the last 10 secs of the tournament where RWC 1sts edged out SACS to give UCT the Super League title!

In the ladies, Silvertree secured a win over UCT Ladies in the last ladies game of the season to secure the Ladies Super League!

Matt from SACS and Nikita from UCT were voted the  players of the tournament. Congrats!

To everyone involved well done on a great tournament. One of the main objectives of this tournament was to improve the standard of our water polo in SA. On this note we all wish UCT and Maties good fortune at the SAU tournament coming up. We expect a clean sweep!

Until 2010, keep treading!

UCT men win men's Super League! Congrats and good luck for SAU!

Rob Lumb, convener of Western Province Water Polo says:


"Having watched our team’s performance at the recent World Championships in Rome (senior men and woman) the Junior World Championship in Croatia (under 18 Boys), and the Under 18 Girls in Russia it is very obvious to us that we were not doing enough in preparing our water polo players for international competition. This new league is aimed at addressing this aggressively and we will launch this at a function at Stonehurst Mountain Estate Lifestyle Centre on 23 September 2009.”
