Schools Top 20 - August 16

In fact, the absence of players can happen throughout the season for a variety of reasons - injury, flu, family commitments and punishment. And so we have to ignore excuses and treat each match as just that - a match between two schools and continue with our policy of rewarding schools that play.

Those particularly affected would be Grey PE, Grey Bloem and Paul Roos.

Relevant results:

Boland Landbou vs Paul Roos, 32-22

Dr EG Jansen vs Menlopark, 71-22                            

Drostdy vs Daniël Pienaar, 34-21

Garsfontein vs Rustenburg, 46-16

Grey College vs Glenwood, 39-10

Helpmekaar vs Oos-Moot, 30-18
