KES made up some impressive ground last week to find themselves camping just outside the leading 10 teams on this week’s U16 Boys Hockey Rankings.
KES looked like a very competent side when they played some of their closest neighbours last week and will be hoping to finish their season strongly as they push to place higher up the table.
Hilton College still remain at the No.1 spot with another victory last week although they had to be at their best to finish winners against a motivated Westville side.
SACS also recorded an important win over Rondebosch to push up into the top 5 and Grey College enjoyed a couple of successful outings to edge them closer to the top pentagonal.
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.
