WAT E R P O L O
R Williamson: A strong player with great vision and the ability to read
a game. This coupled with his accurate shot made him lethal on attack
and he was the top goal-scorer for the season. He shows great leadership
qualities.
K Walsh: He was a newcomer to the team, but his brief stint showed great
promise and he will hopefully carry it into next season.
G Lesur: A young player who was unsure of his capabilities in the pool,
but at times surprised himself with his great skill and ability. He has a bright
future and I look forward to the player he will become.
C Slater: A confident player who was sure of his ability and was always
willing to learn. He showed great strength in the pool. He achieved great
things in 2016 and I look forward to his future.
M Ford: A quiet and unassuming player who needed to back his abilities.
He showed great potential and was a tough defender. He will be a force
in the future.

Mr G Jelley
U15A
The U15A team was full of talent and, at its best, was capable of beating
the best. Unfortunately they had a change of coaches between the first
and fourth terms and this broke the continuity in the team dynamics.
Nevertheless, a number of boys showed exceptional talent, namely
L Robinson, L Lenz, K Raw, T Prinsloo and B Webster, and played a number
of games for the first team. We look forward to watching their progress
over the next few years. L Robinson became a regular member of the first
team.
The team was fortunate to travel to Cape Town and participate in the
Wynberg Boys’ High
