The Maritzburg College 1st basketball team made an emphatic statement in a 36-point victory over Hilton College on Saturday. The advantage, clearly, lay with College in the open age group as they went four for four.
Hilton, though, won both the u16 A and B games, while College’s strength in depth shone through as they bagged the remaining games in that age group.
There were only two points in it as College squeezed out a two-point victory in the u15A clash, and they ended up making a clean sweep of the age group. It was also all College at u14 level, but it was competitive. In the closest of the games, College scraped a one-point victory in the meeting of the u14 B teams.

WATER POLO
At the Northwood Stayers Tournament, College made the kind of impact that hasn’t been seen from the Red, Black and White in water polo for some time, winning all of their pool matches, and then coming from behind to snatch a thrilling 8-7 victory over DHS in the quarterfinals.
In the semi-finals, they pushed Affies all the way, sharing a 5-5 draw with the upcountry visitors before succumbing in a penalty shootout.
Hilton, however, held the edge in their clashes with College, winning all of the seven matches.
