Taking a leaf out of neighbours Western Province’s book, the Boland High Schools selectors have released what convenor Athol Ontong has described as the provisional teams to represent the province at the Oudtshoorn Combined Unions Weekend on Friday 16 and Saturday 17 June 2017.
While the possibility of changes being made does exist, particularly should injury rear its ugly head in the interim, it would appear that the teams are unlikely to change much, if at all, prior to the mid-year tournaments.
Predictably, HTS Drostdy has fourteen representatives in the touring party, while Hermanus can be extremely proud of their eight potential provincial caps.
