Schools: Rugby Rankings Week 9

 Rugby Rankings, School
Dec 092011
 

With the confirmation of cup entry levels last week, a few teams have experienced changes to their position, despite results or a lack of fixture.

Methodist College remain steady at the top, helped by their most recent victory on Saturday against the strong side of Campbell College who remain in 5th position. Their nearest rivals are now Limavady GS who move back into second place despite having no fixture last week; their move is a result of confirmation that they will enter as one of the top eight seeded teams for this season. In fact, the top eight of this week’s table represent the very same eight teams who will enter at round 4.

At mid-table, Portadown College (10th) and Down HS (15th) move up two and three places respectively with strong wins and with confirmation that they will both enter the Cup at round 3. Moving down into the high school’s previous position of 18th are Bangor GS who suffered a shock defeat at the hands of the previously winless Larne GS (30th).

Important fixtures for Sat 10th Dec:

Antrim GS v Wellington College: The opening game of this season’s Schools’ Cup

Cambridge House v Larne GS: With their first win finally secure, can Larne build further by defeating a team who on paper would appear weaker than Bangor GS?

Campbell College v Ballymena Academy: Both of these teams have suffered only two defeats each so far and find themselves in 5th and 6th pace respectively

      With only one game this side of Christmas I thought I’d wait till the second round before starting the School Predictions.
