Hockey Rankings - Boys 1st Team

Pretoria Boys High makes their first appearance on the Belgotex Sports Top 70 rankings this week as they slot into positon No.3 on the table after returning from their successful tour to Malaysia.

 Maritzburg College suffered their first loss of the season at the hands of Grey High School at the Nomads festival which has given Jeppe the chance to make ground on the KZN team and share the top spot at this stage of the season.

Maritzburg College take control of the No.1 spot on this week’s Belgotex Sports Rankings for Boys after a highly successful St.Stithians Festival which saw them keep their unbeaten status intact.

It is obviously very early in the 2018 season with many teams either yet to play their first match or with only a couple of matches under the belt.

Wins for all the leading teams has resulted in a virtually unchanged top half of the table with Rondebosch still out in front of this week’s Belgotex Sports Top 70 Rankings.

Maritzburg College lost out on an opportunity to close the gap on Rondebosch and try one last attempt at snatching the No.1 position in the country when their match against KES was cancelled.

After several weeks off, the No.1 ranked team on this week’s Belgotex Sports Rankings, Rondebosch got the second half of their season underway with two victories which has helped to consolidate their position with fast chasing Maritzburg College team now within touching distance.

A crushing win by Maritzburg College over Affies helped to close the gap on the leading team in the country, Rondebosch, but it could well be a case of too little too late for the Pietermaritzburg team who might have to make peace with the No.2 spot this season.

After a run of 19 straight wins Rondebosch finally succumbed to their first defeat of the season when they fell on the wrong side of a 1-0 result in their encounter with a motivated Bishops outfit.

It continues to be one way traffic for Rondebosch who once again added another scalp to this season’s haul as their unbeaten run stretches to record proportions and they remain the leading team on this week’s Belgotex Sports Top 70 Rankings.
