St Joseph's Con­vent Port of Spain (SJCP) clinched two ti­tles and Fa­ti­ma Col­lege, three at the Sec­ondary Schools Wa­ter Po­lo Cham­pi­onships which were held at the Mar­lins Swim Club in West­moor­ings on March 15.

Con­vent proved to be dom­i­nant in the Un­der-16 Girls' fi­nal where they ham­mered ri­vals Holy Name Con­vent Port-of-Spain (HNCP), 21-7.

The pair of Shau­na Mur­phy and Abel­la Mol­len­thiel scored three goals apiece to open up an 8-2 ad­van­tage in the first pe­ri­od of play. Pit against a pow­er­ful St Joseph's Con­vent at­tack, Holy Name spent most of their time pick­ing the ball out of the goal­post.

Holy Name scored two goals in the sec­ond quar­ter and four in the last quar­ter, but it proved to be no match for the coun­ter­parts, get­ting dou­ble strikes from Ro­maya Pierre and Mur­phy for a to­tal of five goals in the match, as well as Alex­is Avey and Je­naya Richens to com­plete the de­mo­li­tion.

The St Joseph's Con­vent girls re­turned to the pool lat­er to beat Holy Name Con­vent coun­ter­parts for a sec­ond time 13-10 to run away with the Open Girls ti­tle. This time, they were led by four goals from Avey, one each in the first and sec­ond pe­ri­ods, cou­pled with a brace com­ing in the third pe­ri­od.

How­ev­er, she was not the on­ly play­er in the spot­light on the day, as Jodie Marie Ri­ley and Mekelle Ce­de­no both scored three goals in the match to com­plete their suc­cess.

Fa­ti­ma Col­lege lat­er took the Boys Un­der-16, the Boys U-14 and the Open Boys crowns for the li­on's share of awards on the day.

Led by eight goals from Chris­t­ian Grant the Fa­ti­ma lads romped to a 18-3 vic­to­ry. Grant was then sup­port­ed by five goals from Gio­van­ni Fe­li­cian-Moses who fired in four in the first ses­sion and one in the third.

Soon af­ter the Fa­ti­ma boys edged Queen's Roy­al Col­lege (QRC) for their sec­ond ti­tle on the day be­fore edg­ing arch-ri­vals St Mary's Col­lege (CIC) 16-15. Je­re­mi­ah Hen­riques-Brown scored 10 of the 16 goals for his team, with Kyle Chin Lee adding four in the to­tal.
