The Central Union's pecking order is still up for grabs as the big schools are in the midst of provincial trials and big games.
The Griffons League front-runner, Welkom Gym had a relatively easy win, 40-26 against Wilgerivier while the 2nd place was decided by Witteberg beating Voortrekker Bethlehem, 16-14 claiming a historical first win in 11 years. Kroonstad AHS won 28-17 against Hentie Cilliers and Goudveld demolished the struggling Sasolburg HTS.
Noord Kaap won against a Duineveld, 40-22 who initially surprised all with their game against a much higher rated Noord Kaap. Diamantveld is still struggled to beat Upington with only 15-3. Upington's season reads played 9 lost 7 and only those stats must be very worrying to coach Jaco Dames as Diamantveld has still a long season ahead.
Louis Botha was beaten by Jim Fouche, 30-34 in a very entertaining match full of running. This victory will however not calm the nerves for Jim Fouche who will be on the receiving side next weekend against a hurting Grey College.
