FROM PAARL TO BREDASDORP, BOLAND GIRLS JOIN THE SCHOOLS SA20 FUN

The latest region to join the Schools SA20 competition is Boland, as the girls division gets underway this afternoon.

Six fixtures are scheduled for the first round of what is a straight knockout until the winning team emerges on 10 November from the region – which includes the major towns of Stellenbosch, Paarl, Wellington and Worcester in the heart of it as well as parts of the Cape West Coast and the Overberg.

Meanwhile, the girls from Hoërskool De Villiers Graaff will leave Villiersdorp and head down Sir Lowry’s Pass to take on Somerset College in Somerset West. Finally, Caledon-based Swartberg Secondary School’s girls team are due to make the short journey to Hoërskool Bredasdorp, the southernmost of the almost 600 teams in the Schools SA20 competition.

At stake for the winners of Monday’s fixtures will be places in the second round, into which 10 teams from the region have received byes.
