Saints Water Polo Invitational 2024 - Junior Section Wrap

What an awesome three days of prep water polo at our Saints Water Polo Invitational with exceptional Joburg weather on display. It was all aqua pools, blue skies and happy and fulfilled students doing what they love to do. The Invitational played host to 32 teams, over 450 players and coaches and 100+ water polo games over the three days.

An event like this takes a huge amount of organisation and manpower and we are grateful to #OneAndAll who played a part in the success of this year’s event. Thank you in particular to our incredible Saints Water Polo Committee under the leadership of Sue-Anne Stander for their incredible efforts in making the weekend a success. Thank you to all of the participants who have given it their all in the pools, we applaud them for their sportsmanship and the camaraderie that they have shown both in and outside the pool.

The event culminated with two incredible finals, the Boys’ Final between Gauteng schools St Peter's Preparatory and our own St Stithians Boys' Prep and the Girls’ Final between Kwa-Zulu Natal's Umhlahli Preparatory and Cape Town's Herschel Girls' School. Our winners for 2024 are St Peter's Preparatory and Umhlali Preparatory. Congratulations to our winners and to #OneAndAll.
