Sandton saints triumph at Saints Water Polo Invitational

St David’s Marist and St Stithians Girls College recently took home the gold at the highly anticipated Saints Water Polo Invitational.

Despite weather challenges and some technical issues due to load-shedding, the invitational was expertly run.
