We were excited to host Spandau Secondary School on Thursday afternoon for a round of rugby matches.
1st XV match report
From the opening whistle, it was clear this was going to be a physical and high-intensity encounter. Union set the tone early, with Shaakir Kazi crossing the line for the first try within minutes. Xavier Barlow followed up with a second try, giving Union a dream start at 14–0.
The momentum continued with tries from Peter-Daniel Clegg and Yaaseen Kazi, extending the lead to 26–0. Despite consistent pressure and control from Union, a brief lapse allowed the hosts to score just before half-time, bringing the score to 26–7 at the break.
The second half saw Union resume their dominance. The kickoff was secured and turned into immediate attacking pressure. Makukhanye de Beer added his name to the scoresheet, followed by two more tries from Yaaseen Kazi — completing a well-deserved hat-trick. Yonela Wana also impressed with two tries of his own, sealing an emphatic 53–7 victory.
A special mention goes to Yaaseen Kazi for his outstanding hat-trick performance and relentless work throughout the game.
