Quality Clifton firsts water polo outgun gutsy Kearsney
In a much-anticipated clash, the Kearsney College first team played host to water polo powerhouses Clifton College on Saturday.
Clifton, fresh from a tournament in Grahamstown, settled quickly into their stride.
Kearsney created some good scoring chances in the first half, but were ultimately undone by solid defence and the wrong options being taken a few too many times.

The clinical Clifton side punished each Kearsney mistake to take the score to a commanding 7-1 at the halftime break.
Kearsney College came out strong in the 3rd chukka, showing composure and heart to claw back into the game and were trailing by 4 goals at 4-8 with a chukka to play.

With all-out attack and risk-taking the imperative in attempting to haul in the 4-goal deficit in that last chukka, it was a bridge to far for the home team as Clifton comfortably contained the threat in conceding 1 goal while adding 4 of their own to finish the markedly stronger team in this encounter at the final scoreline of 12-5.
On the plus side for Kearsney, many lessons were learnt at the hands of this quality Clifton outfit.
