This was Unionโ€™s first year participating in this prestigious pre-season festival. During the four days of intense competition against some of South Africaโ€™s top school hockey talent, Union managed to record 2 victories, suffering 4 defeats.

The tour provided the girls with valuable match experience for the season ahead and saw them bonding over blood, sweat, blisters, tears and laughter.

On Friday afternoon, 24 February, Union High School, Graaff-Reinet’s rugby boys participated in Hoรซr Volkskoolโ€™s 2023 ๐˜‹๐˜ณ๐˜ช๐˜ฆรซ ๐˜‹๐˜ณ๐˜ถ๐˜ฌ ๐˜ˆ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ – a pre-season tournament that allows local rugby teams the opportunity to effectively finalise their pre-season preparations in a competitive yet relaxed and accommodating environment.

While some of our players had to sit this one out due to cricketing commitments, the rest of the boys who have been putting in the hard yards with their pre-season training, valued the opportunity to take the field again.

We extend our ๐—š๐—ฅ๐—”๐—ง๐—˜๐—™๐—จ๐—Ÿ ๐—ง๐—›๐—”๐—ก๐—ž๐—ฆ to Volkskool for inviting us to participate and giving our boys the opportunity to play. It was an enjoyable afternoon for all involve.
