Well Done To UHS 1st Hockey Girls

This past weekend, Union High School’s ๐Ÿญ๐—ฆ๐—ง ๐—ง๐—˜๐—”๐—  ๐—›๐—ข๐—–๐—ž๐—˜๐—ฌ ๐—š๐—œ๐—ฅ๐—Ÿ๐—ฆ proved that they are not just athletes – they are leaders dedicated to making a positive impact in their community.

Rather than waiting for donations to come their way, these exceptional young women took matters into their own hands by organising a plastic bottle collection and recycling initiative. Their efforts not only aim to raise funds for upcoming tours but also contribute to cleaning up our beloved town.

While many were enjoying the weekend, the hockey girls were busy showcasing their commitment to both their sport and the environment.

(Even those representing Union in tennis at the Burgersdorp tournament joined in the effort, bringing back bottles in a true show of teamwork and dedication.)

But the effort doesn’t stop there! The hockey team is now issuing a challenge to the Graaff-Reinet community: can you match their incredible commitment to raising funds and cleaning up the environment? Every contribution, no matter how small, makes a difference and helps both the team and the planet.

Junior Cricket vs Herbert Hurd – Results

U/11A

Union won the toss and chose to bat first in challenging windy conditions. However, an early run-out disrupted their start. Mark Copeman and Liam Raath then steadied the innings, but once they were dismissed, the Union batting order collapsed, leaving them all out for 83.

Herbert Hurd comfortably chased down the target, with “Mr. Extras” contributing significantly to the run chase. They wrapped up the match with ease, winning by 8 wickets.

U/13A

Union batted first, posting a total of 229 runs, with Josh Kingwill scoring 70, Nathaneal Phillips 57, and Ryan Collet 31. Despite a strong bowling effort, with Nathaneal Phillips, Edwin Holmes, and Uthmaan Steele each taking 2 wickets, Herbert Hurd successfully chased down the target, losing 7 wickets in the process. Herbert Hurd won by 3 wickets.
