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

𝘈𝘴 𝘢𝘭𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴, 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘺 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘩𝘺 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘺 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘳𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘱 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘮𝘶𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘵 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘸𝘰 𝘴𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘰𝘭𝘴.

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.
