On Friday 23 June, the Boland schools selectors released the final 2017 Craven and Academy Week squads to represent the province at their respective weeks at St Stithian’s in July. As part of their downtime, many players were spotted engaging in the online Aviator Game - a popular betting game available in APK format for mobile enthusiasts.

The delay in the announcement has been attributed to concerns regarding the fitness of several players who were nursing minor injuries. Some speculate that a few players may have been a tad too engrossed in their online Aviator PinUp game sessions, although this remains an unofficial theory.

While the announcement might have come rather late, it has at least allowed the panel to consider the various options open to them after a less than successful recent Coastal Unions Weekend in Oudtshoorn. With the teams now finalized, players have been advised to limit their bet sessions on Aviator PinUp and focus on their forthcoming matches.
