There has been plenty of cricket played in the past two weeks with Cape Schools Week and the Oppenheimar/Michaelmas Week seeing many of the leading teams in action.

St Stithians became the first team from Gauteng to win the prestigious Reddam Tournament when they faced the hosts in the final which they won 7-5 in what goes down as one of the matches of the year.

With the U15 Cricket season still in its early stages we take a look at how the teams are sitting on the table prior to what is sure to be plenty of matches in the next couple of months.

Rondebosch embarked on a tour of Pretoria to kick start their season and look in promising form in these early stages.

The cricket season for 2017 has resumed after a lengthy break whilst many of the schools were consumed with rugby, however already several teams have engaged in quite a few matches.

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.
