RUGBY RESULTS: Union High School’s 1^st XV vs Cradock – 23 April

This past weekend, Saturday, 23 April, Union High School’s 1^st XV travelled to Cradock to play against Cradock High School.

In rainy, wet and cold weather conditions, the Union team had to change the way they play their game.

Cradock crossed the white wash after early dominance in the match to take a 7-0 lead.

The Union boys settled and started putting phases together that put Cradock under pressure.

Sisipho Arnols slotted two penalty kicks to narrow the deficit to one point, resulting in Union trailing 7-6 at half-time.

Union started the second half well, dominating most facets of the game, particularly the scrums where Bubele Thibini and Mihan Campbell scrummed exceptionally well, but were unfortunately not rewarded.

Union then had four clean breaks, but could not capitalise. It was certainly a match of missed opportunities for Union.

Cradock scored their second try with about ten minutes to go.

The Union boys kept on fighting until the final whistle, trying to score a winning try, unfortunately, they were unsuccessful and lost the match 12-6.

Well done to Cradock on winning the match.

Other results:

u/14A won 26 – 0;

u/15A won 38 – 3;

u/16A lost 10 -15 and;

2^nd Team lost 5 – 15.

Rugby Results vs Muir College

𝗠𝗔𝗧𝗖𝗛 𝗥𝗘𝗣𝗢𝗥𝗧: 𝟭𝘀𝘁 𝗫𝗩 𝘃𝘀 𝗠𝘂𝗶𝗿 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗲

On Saturday morning, 9 April, the Union rugby teams travelled down to Kariega to take on Muir College in the annual derby day.

The match started at a frantic pace, where possession was often exchanged by the two sides.

The Union boys exerted ample pressure which led to a kickable penalty slotted by Sisipho Arnols resulting in Union taking a 3-0 lead. Muir College bounced back quickly, scoring the first try of the match to take the score to 3 – 7.

Muir then scored another converted try extending their lead to 3 – 14. The Union boys started to fight back just before half-time, but a brilliant cover tackle by the Muir College full back kept Union at bay. Muir led 3 – 14 at half-time.

Union started the second half well, putting their bodies on the line, refusing to back down. Muir College received a yellow card which the Union boys capitalized on, to score a driving maul try through Ivan Murray, closing the deficit to six points.

Union created a few more scoring opportunities but failed to convert, in turn, Muir ran in another try in the last minute of the match to take the spoils 8 – 19.

Well done to Muir College on winning the match.
