On Friday, 16 June, Union High School, Graaff-Reinet’s rugby teams played their much-anticipated annual derby against Graeme College.

Despite Union’s valiant efforts, Graeme College owned the field, winning nine out of the derby’s ten contests, with their 1st XV concluding the day’s play with a 43-3 victory.

Union’s u/11A team, however, was the shining highlight of the day, winning 26-10. Kudos to all the u/11 players who fearlessly endured bruises by taking big tackles.

Unfortunately, Union High School’s other teams didn’t achieve the same level of success.
