FNB Top 20 - 1 June
Tue, 01 Jun 2010
The big match this weekend was at Paarl Gim where No.2 played No.3 and won by two points. That leaves them where they were, but St Andrew's move up after their win in Port Elizabeth. The biggest movers are Florida with their win over Monnas.

Tue, 25 May 2010
The top 11 positions are so tight that even a small adjustment can mean the change of several places. That is tough on the team going down a way but equally it means that going up several places carries with it no sureties.

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.
