SA School Sports

The first stage of 2018 Cricket season has come to a close and once again we have witnessed some impressive school cricket from around the country.

Rondebosch put one last effort in last weekend before the final showdown of the first part of the season when they took on Bishops and came home with a crushing victory.

There was some good quality cricket on display last week especially at the Independent Schools festival which gave the KZN teams a chance to measure their skills against teams for some of the other provinces.

KES continue to knock on the door of the No.1 spot as they once again put on a winning brand of cricket that included three back to back victories.

It is Hilton College that narrowly regains the number one position on this week’s Belgotex Sports First XI Rankings after a valuable win over a strong Clifton side.

After an unbeaten run, which now stretches across 13 matches, Rondebosch have edged their way into the leading position on this week’s Belgotex Sports First XI Top 50 Rankings.

Rondebosch rocket upwards in this week’s First XI Belgotex Sports Top 50 and have severely damaged SACS grasp on the No.1 spot after their dramatic win over the weekend.

The opening Belgotex Sports First XI Cricket Rankings for 2018 is out and even though the season is still barely crawling most of the expected front runners have already risen to the top of the ladder to occupy familiar real estate.

As the final matches for the 2017 season get played we have a very settled table for this week’s First XI Belgotex Sports Top 60 rankings.

As the 2017 season draws to a close we have the usual suspects challenging for the top spots and this week it is still St.Stithians who are the leading team on the First XI Belgotex Sports Top 60 Rankings.

St Stithians are the leading team in South Africa for the moment although a quick look at the latest First XI Belgotex Sports Rankings clearly reveals that the teams in the top section of the table are very close with a result either way capable of causing some impact.

Hilton College rise to the top of this week’s Belgotex Sports First XI Top 60 Rankings although they are joined there with St. Stithians who have led from the start of the year.

St Stitihians came close to slipping on the proverbial banana skin when they faced a motivated St.Benedicts team who were in no mood to bow down to the leading team in the country.

There has been plenty of cricket played in the past two weeks with Cape Schools Week and the Oppenheimar/Michaelmas Week seeing many of the leading teams in action.

Rondebosch embarked on a tour of Pretoria to kick start their season and look in promising form in these early stages.

The cricket season for 2017 has resumed after a lengthy break whilst many of the schools were consumed with rugby, however already several teams have engaged in quite a few matches.

The first half of the 2017 season has drawn to a close and at this stage few would dispute the fact that St. Stithians fully deserve to rest at the top of the Belgotex First XI Rankings for this week.

As the first half of the 2017 season draws to a close St.Stithians are virtually in an untouchable region way out at the top of this week’s Belgotex First XI Top 50 Rankings.

Wynberg enjoyed a brilliant run last week winning all three of their matches and in so doing take up residence in the No.2 spot on this week’s Belgotex First XI Top 50 Rankings.

The St. Stithians machine rumbled on last week to complete another three wins for the season and in so doing remain unbeaten justifying their No.1 position on the First XI Belgotex Top 50 Rankings for this week.

There was plenty of movement on the Belgotex First XI Top 50 Rankings this week with several big names coming unstuck causing some shuffling of positions.
