One thing is now abundantly clear - Grey College are far and away the Number 1 school in the FNB Top 20. The other 19 are probably all pretty close, one able to beat the other on any given day, but Grey are exceptional.

There were some big matches this weekend. In Pretoria Glenwood played Affies, in Bloemfontein the two Greys met, Goudveld in Welkom and in Paarl there was that Interschools to beat all Interschools. The results of these matches have had a great effect on our FNB Top 20 for this week.

Most schools are not playing at present, what with Craven Week trials and exams, though some of those who do best at exams actually play at this time. Still there have been some interesting results.

KES suffered their first defeat of the year, which cost them a few places in that close part of the Top 20. In fact the whole of the Top 20 is close.

It seems that being second on the FNB Top 20 is the most vulnerable position of all. This year Paul Roos, Affies, Paarl Boys' High and Outeniqua have all been there and dropped down. Last weekend second-placed Paul Roos were the ones to come unstuck.

It was an awkward week this for the FNB Top 20 because so many schools did not play. There were trials here and there and then there was some wet in the Cape that meant that three of our top schools did not have a game.

It may not be tough at the top but it's certainly tough near the top when you have to take on the top side in the FNB Top 20.

These long weekends do not make things easier as many schools have breaks or play at different times. Gathering scores is less easy.
