There is a minor change on this week’s U16 Girls Hockey Rankings with Durban Girls College sliding ever so slightly ahead of Menlopark to occupy the No.1 spot.
Realistically it is all very close at the head of the leaderboard with several teams worthy of leading the rankings.
Many teams will have their eye on the top 12 positions with the hope of qualifying for the Top 12 Tournament that will be hosted by Paarl Gim in August this year.
In 2018 Paarl Gym embarked on an exciting plan to host a competitive hockey tournament for boys and girls in the U16 age group that would showcase the best talent in the country.
The tournament was a massive hit with the players and schools producing some excellent hockey. Once again Paarl Gym are poised to host the 2019 edition of the U16 Top Schools Boys & Girls Hockey Tournament and it promises to be even better!
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.
