Clifton and Westville tested their skills in water polo, basketball, and cricket on Saturday. Unfortunately, bad weather ended some of the games, but most were completed.
WATER POLO
The action at the Clifton Aquatic Centre was back-and-forth and exciting, with four matches delivering 32 goals for Clifton and 24 for Westville.
The 1st team showdown was especially compelling. The teams were level at 4-4 after the first chukka. It was 5-4 to Clifton after the second and 7-6 to Westville after three. Six seconds from time, Clifton captain Mitchell Slade unleashed a powerful shot into the Westville net to snatch an 8-7 victory for his team.
