Hi All

Just want to let you know Dex Kennedy passed away this morning.

Thanks Dudley Prentice.

Dex was chairman of SA Masters Waterpolo in 1996 and was a stalwart of the old Eastern Transvaal waterpolo sides in the early years.

Just got the tragic news that Vaughan McClaren was killed in a car accident in White River yesterday.

Vaughan was a staunch Masters player of any years before he lost interest and inclination –  he had joined us on a few overseas Masters tours.

His dry humour and wit will be missed by all who knew him, I will pass on the condolences of all Masters players around the country, to his Family and Friends.

RIP Vaughan

Regards,

Neville Clarence

It is with regret and sadness that I have to let you all know that Igor passed away after a short illness today (10 Sep 2019).

As some of you may remember , Igor was a stalwart of Masters polo , having got his 20 yr costume a few years back , and was living for quite some time in Cape Town.

Our thoughts go to his family and friends

Regards,

Neville Clarence

Hi all ,

It is with sadness that I pass on the news that Rupert Gush has passed away.

Although Rupert was not a staunch Masters player, only having playing a few times in the early days, those who knew him will remember that he was a true Scholar and Gentleman, and contributed hugely to all aspects of sport.

If I remember correctly, he was the Founder of Florida Water Polo, and also an Old Eds rugby player and administrator.

I am sure he will be keenly missed and pass on to his Family the deepest condolences of the whole Gauteng Masters polo fraternity.

Regards,

Neville Clarence

It is with sad news that we learnt of the passing of Eddie Tinker from Easterns after a growth was removed. Eddie was a stalwart of Easterns and many of the older players will remember their tussles during Currie Cup and other tournaments.

Eddie was a larger than life character and even won Spirit of Masters.

RIP old mate.

Roley Wright, an Old Eds stalwart and Eds Waterpolo legend sadly passed away yesterday.  Our condolences go out to his family (particularly his younger sister Heather) and his close friends at this time.  Our prayers and thoughts are with them all.

Rest in Peace.

Just heard about Theo’s tragic and untimely passing – his level of fitness and dedication was amazing and an inspiration to all who knew him.

Please pass on the deepest condolences of SA and CG Masters Water Polo to his family and friends   –  may he Rest In Peace.

Another bit of sad news – Peter Otto of Florida (7 Masters) also passed away recently after suffering a heart attack at a relatively young age.

Condolences to Peter’s family and friends from the SA Masters Waterpolo fraternity.

It is indeed sad to notify you that John Green, a Jock and Masters player over many years, passed away yesterday. John played more than 10 Masters Tournaments and represented the WP Jocks for many years. John will be sorely missed by the team and waterpolo playing fraternity.

Please keep John’s family in your thoughts and prayers.
