Junior Hockey Results vs Sunridge

Although the girls played well and displayed some lovely skill on the day, in the end, hockey is a game of opportunity as much as it is a game of skill and the Union girls fell short in that they did not capitalise on the opportunities presented.

Sunridge claimed the win with 3 goals to Unionโ€™s 2.

Senior Rugby Results vs St Andrew’s, Bloemfontein

On Saturday, 18 March, Union took on Saint Andrewโ€™s School on home soil in an annual derby day that has become a ๐—ฆ๐—˜๐—”๐—ฆ๐—ข๐—ก ๐—›๐—œ๐—š๐—›๐—Ÿ๐—œ๐—š๐—›๐—ง, eagerly awaited by both schools.

As expected, the day started with a bang, with all matches being played at a furious pace, with teams from both sides attacking and defending with everything they had.

Aggressive attacking and big hits in defence saw our senior teams enjoying more success than the juniors. Congratulations to the u/15As and 2nd XVs on their victories.

Union’s ๐Ÿญ๐—ฆ๐—ง ๐—ซ๐—ฉ put on a brilliant performance to beat the Saints 18 โ€“ 8, ending the day off on a high note for Union.

The Union side played with the wind in the first half and, although they had numerous opportunities to cross over the try line, they were unable to do so until a moment of stellar play secured Union a lead of 5 โ€“ 0.  St Andrewโ€™s however followed this up with a try against the run of play, followed up by a penalty, giving them a 8 โ€“ 5 lead going into half-time.

Union looked a better team in the second half, controlling possession and territory which eventually resulted in them scoring their second try, to take the lead by 13 – 8. A penalty in favour of Union, secured them the win with 18 points to Saint Andrewโ€™s 8.
