We are looking at a two horse race at the moment on this week’s U15 Top 50 Cricket Rankings with Maritzburg College duelling it out for the top spot with Rondebosch.

There are two big movers on this week’s Top 60 First XI Rankings after the dust has settled following an action packed week which saw most of the top teams in action.

Lance Trueman is quickly becoming one of the rising stars to watch on the school cricket field. His left-handed medium-paced bowling technique coupled withhis natural abilities with willow in-hand,make Lance an all-round player who easily racks up wickets and runs.

There is a big jump in standard when a player is exposed to high school cricket and always a test of a schools potential depth for the years to come.

There were plenty of T20 matches played last week with several upset results which have sent a minor tremor through this week’s First XI Top 60 Rankings.

Let it be stated right at the outset that we are still in the very early stages of the U15 cricket season with many teams yet to have played a decent amount of matches to help produce a stable ranking.

Jeppe hit the top of this week’s First XI Cricket Rankings after completing a very comfortable win over St David’s Inanda last week and they have the makings of a powerful team in 2019.

Rondebosch who until last week had gone unbeaten from eight matches came horribly unstuck against one of their old foes SACS which has cut their lead at the top of the table.

Rondebosch are the team that hits the front after failing to lose a single match in their first 10 outings and take a firm grip on the No.1 spot at the start of the season.
