Rugby vs Victoria Park – Results

Union High School vs Victoria Park High School — Saturday, 23 August 2025

Union High School’s 1st XV wrapped up their 2025 rugby season with a commanding 39–24 victory over Victoria Park High School from Gqeberha on Saturday, 23 August.

The home side got off to a strong start, with Elvandre Meyer opening the scoring through a well-worked try to put Union ahead 5–0. A brilliant line break from Yaaseen Kazi soon followed, extending the lead to 10–0.

Yonela Wana impressed with a dynamic run, narrowly missing out on adding to the scoreline after a knock-on just short of the tryline. Union kept the pressure on, however, and a break from Xavier Barlow set up Liso Booi for Union’s third try, which was successfully converted to make it 17–0.

Siba Mbutye and Shaakir Kazi both crossed the line before the half-time whistle, giving Union a healthy 29–5 lead at the break. VP managed to score their first points just before half-time.

The second half began with VP capitalising on a Union error from the kickoff, quickly narrowing the gap with a try to make it 29–10. Despite a few missed opportunities and disrupted momentum from player substitutions, Union regained control when Elvandre Meyer scored his second try of the match, pushing the lead to 34–10.

Liso Booi added another try to his tally, extending Union’s advantage to 39–10. VP, however, showed resilience in the closing stages, scoring two converted tries to reduce the final margin to 39–24.

This final fixture marked Union’s 12th win in a 22-game season, capping off a year of hard work, growth, and spirited competition.

U14: Union 14 – 17 Victoria Park

Interschools Results – Hockey

Interschools is never just about a score line. It’s about heart, sacrifice, dedication, and pride. It’s about countless early mornings, bruises taken in silence, running until legs give in and never losing sight of a shared dream. This year, all of that sacrifice came together in one unforgettable performance, one that will go down in Union High School’s proud history.

On Saturday, our First Team girls didn’t just perform – they destroyed Volkskool. They didn’t just play hockey, they made history. With a breath-taking 7–0 victory, every single goal came from open play. No short corners, no strokes; just pure hockey. Clinical finishing, ruthless pressing, teamwork that left no gaps on the field and a hunger that could not be matched.

Every player gave everything. This was a team that embodied our motto the three C “ conquer the mind, command the moment and change the story.”

𝗞𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗹𝘆𝗻 𝗧𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗽, 𝗠𝗶𝗮 𝗕𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗮 and 𝗔𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 proudly received their 𝟱𝟬𝗧𝗛 𝗖𝗔𝗣𝗦, marking their remarkable contribution to Union hockey.
