The Race Heats Up in the SA School Sports Boys’ First Team Hockey Rankings!
The battle for supremacy in the SA School Sports Boys’ First Team school hockey rankings has never been tighter! After a flurry of matches over the past few weeks, the rankings table has undergone a significant shake-up.
This season, an exciting trend has emerged – a record-breaking number of teams remain undefeated! Powerhouses like SACS, DHS, Grey High, Paul Roos Gym, Selborne, and Paarl Gim have all started the season with a bang. While simply counting wins doesn’t paint the whole picture at this stage, separating these frontrunners is a real challenge. Thankfully, the sophisticated school hockey rankings formula takes a more nuanced approach, factoring in strength of opposition and margin of victory alongside wins. For a deeper dive into the formula, follow this link [ rankings formula link ].
The recent Belgotex Sports Easter Tournament served as a significant test for many teams. With a staggering 1400 players and 280 matches played over four grueling days, it was Paarl Gim who emerged victorious, showcasing their dominance in emphatic fashion.
Although SACS currently occupy the No.1 spot it is important to remember that the season is still young. Expect to see significant movement in the school hockey rankings as teams continue to clash throughout the season.
There’s also exciting news brewing on the horizon! Whispers suggest a potential launch of a Top 12 Boys Tournament based on the school hockey rankings. We’ll be sure to bring you more details on this development soon.
Coaches, your commitment is essential! To ensure the accuracy of the rankings, please submit your team’s results promptly to [email protected].
Get ready for a thrilling season filled with nail-biting competition, as the battle for the top spot in the SA School Sports Boys’ First Team school hockey rankings intensifies!
