RUGBY RESULTS
The last match of the day, that of the two ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ง ๐ซ๐ฉ๐, saw the Union High School, Graaff-Reinet team get off to a flying start, converting a penalty within the first five minutes of the game.
The next penalty came through a break by Camran Swartz – although Union was unable to score, they were soon awarded another penalty, which was converted by Hlaki Skepe, taking the score to 6 – 0 in Union’s favour.
A great line-out maul once again led to a penalty, taking the score to 9-0 in Union’s favour. At that time, Union seemed to have control of the game and their confidence was high. Woodridge, however, managed to get themselves back in the game by scoring a try and successfully converting it, but through a massive break by Jude Langmead, Union once again extended their lead with a try, to have the points tally standing at 16-7 in Union’s favour at half time.
Union once again dominated the game at the start of the second half. The Union team converted another penalty, taking their lead to 19-7. Although it looked like Union had the game in the bag at that time, Woodridge stepped up to decrease Union’s lead with a try from their side.
Hlaki Skepe then converted another penalty for Union, but due to poor defense from the Union side, Woodridge slipped in another try, resulting in Union losing the match 22 points to Woodridge’s 26.
