This Week’s Boys U16 Hockey Rankings presents a very congested top section of the table with several teams that have made inroads into the leading group.
Although Hilton College still reigns at the head of the rankings following their win over Pretoria Boys High last week a few teams have climbed places.
Paarl Boys High reaches their highest place in history as they enter the top 5 zone for the first time and look like a highly competent side at this level and their win over Grey College underlines their ability.
Hudson Park have also doggedly stuck to their task and moved into the top 10 with a long line of wins behind their name.
With the prize of an automatic invitation for the leading 12 teams on the rankings to the U16 Top Schools Tournament hosted by Paarl Gim on the line, several teams seem to be timing their run perfectly in order to qualify for this prestigious tournament.
Invitations to the U16 Tops Schools Boys & Girls Tournament will be based on the SA School Sports Ranking with the Top 12 teams getting invited.
The U16 Top Schools Tournament will take place at Paarl Gym between the 8th-11th August 2019. So make sure all your U16 results are sent through to us at editor@saschoolsports.co.za by the cut off date of 31 May 2019.
