WP picks trial teams

Western Province Schools have chose four trial teams and some players to be included in later trials.

The main body of players are, not surprisingly, chosen from Paar Gim, Paarl Boys’ High, Paul Roos and Boland Landbou. In fact, in the first two teams only Graham Geldenhuys of Rondebosch is not from one of those schools.

Wynberg, who have been doing remarkably well this year with a viuctory over Grey in Port Elizabeth last weekend, have just one player in the 74 invitees and he is in the extras group.

Paarl Boys’ High have most with 16 players, followed by Paarl Gim and Paul Roos with 13 and Boland Landbou with 7.

Ramone Samuels, Dalen Goliath, Sebastian Ferreira, Craig Corbett, Handré Pollard and Michal Haznar of the A Team were all at Craven Week last year, and so was Chad Solomons of the B Team.
