Selborne College determined to finish the season on a high extracted all they had to blunt the challenge of Grey High School last week and is so doing consolidate their position in the top five of this week’s First XV Top 100 Rankings.

The Grey College U16 team are occupying the No.1 position on this week’s SA School Sports U16 Rugby Rankings after a comprehensive win over Selborne this past week.

In last year’s U14 Rankings it was a two horse race between Glenwood and Outeniqua with the Kwagga’s timing their run perfectly to pip Glenwood to take the top spot. Those same teams have progressed to the U15 ranks and have immediately risen to the top of this week’s Belgotex Sports U15 Rankings to resume their rivalry.

It is probably a little premature to be publishing the first rankings of the season when there have only been a handful of matches played and many of the traditionally top teams have yet to even start their season. So we expect to get a bit of flack for that, but we can take it.

Grey College underlined their dominance this year with two resounding victories over the past long weekend to hold onto their Number One position on this week’s Belgotex Sports Top 100 Rankings.

Maritzburg College were the big casualty last week in the U16 rugby fixtures which were few and far between although a couple of them did make their mark on the U16 Top 100 Rugby Rankings.

A bye weekend for Paul Roos Gym and Grey College allowed Glenwood to nudge a little bit closer to the two leaders after a comprehensive win by a motivated DHS side.

After a lengthy absence from the field Grey College turned on the taps in a massive display against Grey High School that will send shockwaves to their remaining opponents Glenwood and Paul Roos Gym.

This Week’s U14 Top 100 Rankings is virtually unchanged from last week although Grey High School has managed to gain a place in the top 10.
