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.
