The Western Province Knockout Cup held mixed results for the U14, U15 and First teams. The U14A team lost out to Rondebosch in the semi final, playing a great game but running out of luck in the end going down 2-5. The First Team beat Wynberg in the semi final, gaining momentum late in the match to really get the scoring going. They met Reddam in the final and ultimately went down 6-3, unable to recover from a slow start that saw them 0-3 down at the end of the first chukka. The story of the day was the SACS u15A team, who won their semi and final games with a total score of 17-5. They got through Rondebosch easily in the semi, winning 8-1 and met arch rivals Bishops in the final. These teams have had some very close games recently, but it was not to be this time around. The SACS men had a great game, playing efficient, powerful polo and running away to a 9-4 victory.




Well done to all the teams!

The U15A team has their first major trophy - triumphing 4-0 in the final of the Indigo Tournament held at Parktown this weekend. Their win against Bishops keeps them undefeated this season, and what a way to keep the record intact!

See an amazing highlights package of our team's win on Youtube here.

Following their good first day, the U15A team beat Parktown 12-2, DHS 11-0 and Rondebosch 7-2 in the quarter final. They faced Reddam in the semi and won a closel fought match 5-4 in extra time. They face Bishops in the final on Sunday. The First Team beat Maritzburg 14-3 in their last pool game, and came up against St Albans in the quarter final. Another tough match, and they went down 8-10. I their  reclassification match against Jeppe, the boys fought back from 3-7 down to tie it at 7-all, ultimately going down in a penalty shootout. They went on to beat Paul Roos  4-3 to win 7th place. A great effort from the boys and a huge improvement from last year!

The First team, playing at KES, beat the hosts in their first match of the tournament, a solid 9-7 win. The U15A team had two wins on their first day at the Indigo Tournament, 15-0 vs Affies and 12-1 vs St Benedicts. Let's hope for a similar Day Two!

The SACS First Team continued their impressive season with a big, 11-3 win vs Bishops at Bishops. This win came four weeks after they won 11-6 against the same team, and seem to have confirmed their dominance over the Bishops side. The first team has won all but one of their league fixtures, falling to Reddam in difficult conditions. Other results vs Bishops were not so pleasing, and they continue to field very strong teams in the lower divisions. See all results here.

The U14A team fell in the quarter-finals against Bishops in a closely fought match which saw a great SACS comeback. Final score was 5-4. They went on to lose their placement match against Wynberg on the final day of the event, but recorded good wins vs the same Wynberg, St Peters and Paul Roos over the first three days. In general, the team showed a much improved standard and came out firing. It has been a tough road, but the boys are getting there!

SACS High had a very successful day vs Rondebosch winning most games including all games held on Saturday! The first team had a convincing 7-1 victory and are looking in fine form leading up to KES Tournament. Full results here.

SACS Junior recorded great results vs Wetpups last week, including big wins from the U11A and U13A teams. Full results here.

SACS High recorded excellent results vs Reddam & Westerford this past weekend, winning 8 while only dropping 2 games. The First team capped the fixture off in style with an emphatic 26-3 Victory vs Westerford. Full results here.

SACS High did exceptionally well over the weekend vs Bishops, winning 4 of 6 fixtures, including an 11-6 win for the First Team. Bishops had little time to prepare, however, and will no doubt be stronger later in the season! Full results here.

Check out some photo's from the SACS Water Polo tour to Hungary! Lots of snow and fun, it seems! Find them here.

The U15A side started the year with a tough match vs the Auckland Grammar 2nd Team and were forced to play some top-drawer polo to get the win. Things are looking good and the polo was highly entertaining to watch. The 1st Team got off to a great start, going 4 - 0 up in the first chukka, but momentum was lost as many subs were made and the rhythm was broken. The match turned out to be a tightly contested affair, with Auckland scoring with 6 seconds left to secure an 8 - 7 win. Both SACS sides used these games as their last trials, and Auckland made sure to sort the men from the boys! Thanks to all our Kiwi friends for their exceptional spirit and tough opposition - we look forward to our future encounters! 

Term 1 fixtures are up and ready here. Plan your holidays, family lunches, movies and carwashing - you wouldn't want to miss any of this term's action!
