Paarl Gim are the only team that inch forward on this week’s Girls Belgotex Sports Top 70 Rankings as they move into their season best to position 7.
However the real tussle is developing between positions 6-20 with most of those teams only a couple of wins away from making it into a top 10 position and with it the chance to get invited to the FNB Top 12 Tournament hosted by Oranje Meisies.
There is bound to be some heartbreak for those teams that narrowly miss out but there is still plenty of opportunity to make up some ground in the weeks that are ahead.
Please bear in mind that the rankings are based on a formula that takes into consideration several key factors including the strength of the opposition, margin of victory, margin of loss, home and away status of matches, actual goals scored during the match to mention a few. These factors all garner a team a prescribed amount of bonus points which are accumulated and divided by the matches played to render an average.
It is most important that a team sends in all their matches even against weaker opposition as all results have a bearing on the final outcome.
