SA School Sports

As the hockey season draws to an end for 2018 we did have some noticeable movement on the table from the past couple of weeks matches.

Selborne College make up some good ground to finish their season strongly with a top 10 finish on this week’s Belgotex Sports Top 70 Rankings after recording a couple of valuable wins which included a 3-2 victory against Grey High School.

Affies also showed that on their day they can match many of the best teams in the country and their 5-1 thumping of Pretoria Boys High underlines this. However it could have been so much better for Affies and they could have finished even higher up the rankings if it wasn’t for some unexpected losses. However they are still a young team which will pose a threat next season.

Affies came unstuck against a reinvigorated Maritzburg College side who climb up a place following their 3-0 win over the Pretorians.

The big Super 12 tournament is on the horizon and for some of the leading teams in the country this will be the culmination of a season that has been packed with hard work and play.

A well deserved win by Maritzburg College over Affies last weekend has helped to nudge them a little closer to Jeppe who still lead the Boys Hockey Rankings for this year.
