There can be little debate as to which team should be crowned as the leading Boys Hockey team in South Africa for 2018.
Jeppe far and away were the classiest team of the year as they took on the best in the country and refused to bend their knee to anyone. When Jeppe couldn’t win they drew against the top contenders like Maritzburg College, Grey High, Kearsney and PBHS to finish as the No.1 team in the country.
Maritzburg College, who enjoyed a bit of time at the top of the rankings fought hard to make up some ground with Jeppe, but the crucial loss to Grey High School at the end was going to separate the two leaders.
Bishops held their nerve to finish among the top five teams along with Grey College and Clifton who were all impressive on their day.
Well done to all the teams and players and congratulations to Jeppe for taking the crown.
