A solid afternoon of rugby for Union High School against Cradock, with the ๐ญ๐๐ ๐ซ๐ฉ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฑ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฎ ๐ฝ๐น๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฎ๐ฐ-๐ญ๐ฌ ๐๐ถ๐ป.
Unionโs 1st XV delivered a commanding performance, setting the tone early with quick attacking play that saw them dominate possession and territory. Their fast start, however, led to a lapse in defensive concentration, allowing Cradock to capitalize with an easy try.
Cradock then shifted tactics, turning the game scrappy by kicking frequently and testing Unionโs back three under pressure. Despite this, Union held firm and responded with a well-executed maul to regain control.
While Union were clinical in many areas, several final passes went astray. Had those passes gone to hand, the scoreline could have been far more emphatic. The focus going forward must remain on team effortโsacrificing an individual try for the sake of a well-constructed team try is key to building consistency and dominance.
Try scorers: Yasseen Kazi (1), Peter Daniel (2), Ronan Ewers (1)

Unionโs ability to adapt and maintain composure under pressure proved decisive, ensuring a solid victory.
