As we enter into the final straight for automatic qualification to the U16 Top Schools Tournament there has been frenetic activity from many teams playing matches and sending through outstanding results during the past week.
Naturally this has had a bearing on this week’s U16 Girls Hockey Rankings with several teams making some important movement.
Menlopark recapture the No.1 spot for this week thanks to a comfortable win over Waterkloof with Durban Girls College going to second position despite wins over some weaker opposition.
However with a plethora of back dated results streaming in teams like St John’s DSG have risen through the field to occupy the valuable 11th position with Fairmont who narrowly avoided a banana peel in 12th spot.
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, many are striving gallantly to qualify.
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.
