Senior Hockey vs Queenstown Girls’ High School – Results

The First Team delivered an outstanding performance this weekend, securing a 3 – 0 victory against a physical and determined GHS side.

From the opening whistle, GHS made their intentions clear with a game plan built around physicality. They attempted to run us off the ball, disrupt our rhythm with aggressive challenges and mentally get under our skin throughout the match. What stood out most, however, was the incredible maturity and resilience shown by our First Team.

This team never backs down from a challenge. The girls matched the physicality with speed, strength and composure. While staying mentally focused on our structure, discipline and overall game plan. Instead of being drawn into the chaos, they trusted each other, trusted the system, and played with courage and determination.

What makes this performance even more special is seeing how much this group has grown. The way they play for one another, supported each other in difficult moments and handle adversity with maturity speaks volumes about the character within this team. Their unity and mentality continue to be one of our greatest strengths, and as coach I am are extremely proud of the progress they are making both individually and collectively.

Standout performances this weekend came from Hermon Wolde, Katelyn Trollip, Kari Stern and Mecoli Vorster

Senior Rugby vs Andrew Rabie – Results

This past weekend, Union High’s 1st XV took on Andrew Rabie High School. The match ended in a disappointing 36–7 defeat.

Andrew Rabie arrived well-prepared, having studied our previous games, and they executed their set plays with precision. They outperformed us in most areas of the game. The only real strength we showed was in the scrums, where our forwards competed with determination and held their ground.

Unfortunately, beyond the scrum, our performance fell short. We struggled with basic skills:
Too many dropped balls disrupted our attack.
Lineouts were repeatedly lost through errors.
Defenders drifted inside instead of staying on their man, leaving gaps that were exploited.
Penalty kicks failed to find touch, costing us valuable territory.

As individuals failed to carry out their roles, trust within the team broke down, and effort levels dropped. This was the most disappointing aspect of the performance.

The lesson is clear: rugby success depends on discipline, teamwork, and mastering the fundamentals. Catching, passing, defending properly, and smart kicking are non-negotiable. Following instructions and trusting one another will prevent results like this.

While the defeat was heavy, the strength shown in the scrums gives us a foundation to build on. If we recommit to the basics and play as a united team, Union High can bounce back stronger in the matches ahead.

Let us take this setback as a lesson, not a limitation — and use it to fuel improvement and pride in the games to come.

U14 lost 6-0
U15 lost 3-49

Senior Hockey vs St Michaels and Hangklip – Results

Our First Team produced two dominant displays, recording a 6–0 victory against St Michael’s and following it up with a convincing 7–1 win over Hangklip.

Against St Michael’s, the girls produced a strong all-round performance where our structure looked solid against a competitive side. We controlled the tempo of the match well and made sure we capitalised on our opportunities.

In the second match against Hangklip, the girls started brilliantly and created numerous goal-scoring chances. However, frustration began to creep in as we failed to convert opportunities, which led to forcing passes and trying to create goals too quickly. Our final decision-making inside the circle was not at our usual standard. Despite this, the girls once again showed the strength and quality within our First Team.

Overall, it was a very positive weekend and a true team effort from every player involved. Well done to all the girls on their performances.

Standout players this weekend were: Antonio Adams, Katelyn Trollip, Misha Newton, Leigh-ann Murray and Abonani Matushe.
