Country goes Suburban
But SACS are more likely to see it as a challenge. After all somebody must break this Boys' High winning streak of 35 matches. SACS will know they can do it as they came oh-so close to beating Paarl Gim.
This week's match is just a week before the biggest Interschools match in South Africa, the Interschools.
Season So Far
Boy's High have a far more impressive season than SACS. They have won every one of their 14 matches and are ranked top of the FNB Top 20. On the way they have beaten six teams ranked on the Top 20.
SACS have won nine of their 15 matches with two draws and four defeats. Defeats at the hands of Paarl Gim and Paul Roos were agonisingly close.
