1st XI

Yet another half century by Daniel Smith helped to secure a victory for the unbeaten SACS team who rest on top of this week’s Belgotex Sports First XI Rankings.

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.
