1st XV Match Report: UHS won 25-19
The Union 1st XV came out firing, with Siba Mbutye opening the scoring with a try to give the home side an early 5-point lead. The momentum continued as Janathen van den Berg crossed the try line to stretch Unionโ€™s advantage to 10-0.

However, Woodridge fought back with an intercept try, narrowing the gap to 10-7 and putting pressure back on Union. Just before halftime, Van den Berg made his presence felt again, scoring his second try of the day to restore Union’s dominance. The hosts went into the break with a solid 17-7 lead.

Union started the second half strongly, with Yonela Wana finishing off a well-constructed try created by the hard work of the forwards, pushing the score to 22-7. But Woodridge was not done yet. Missed tackles and lapses in discipline allowed the visitors to score, bringing the score to 22-12 and keeping the match alive.

Union responded with a successful penalty conversion, extending their lead to 25-12. In the final minutes, Woodridge earned a penalty try to make it 25-19, but Union held firm in the closing moments to secure a well-deserved victory.

Senior Hockey vs VGHS & Kingswood – Results

Senior Hockey vs VGHS

The girls produced a commanding performance against VGHS, dominating possession and dictating the pace of the game from start. Their passing, movement off the ball and work rate were excellent. Although they created numerous scoring opportunities. The final 3โ€“0 score line did not reflect the full extent of their dominance. Defensively, they remained composed and disciplined, rarely allowing VGHS into threatening positions.

Player of the match (Friday): Aaminah Steele โ€“ for her energy and control in the final third.

Senior Hockey vs Kingswood

In a tightly contested but well-controlled encounter, the girls once again showed their class and tactical discipline to secure a 1โ€“0 win. From the first start they put Kingswood under pressure, winning possession in key areas and creating chances through well-structured attacking play. The goal came from a brilliant turnover in the midfield. This led to a short corner, which was converted by Tara Ferreira (with a beautiful, well executed drag flick goal).

Player of the Match (Saturday): Nadine Murray โ€“ for her work rate, intelligent positioning and ability to turn opposition over.

Player of the Weekend : Abonai Matushe for keeping two clean sheets this weekend.
Well done Kenza and the first team, on an excellent performance and back to back clean sheets.

Senior Hockey vs Priory – Results

Saturday, 17 May vs St Dominicโ€™s Priory

Saturdayโ€™s clash against Priory was another test of our discipline and patience due to poor umpiring. We controlled nearly 70% of the possession, dominating the game in both territory and chances created. Despite this, Priory opened the scoring after a defensive error. Again, the girls responded wellโ€”fighting back to level the score and then push ahead with a second goal to seal the 2โ€“1 win. While we had an impressive 30 short corners, we were unable to convert more of those opportunities into goalsโ€”an area weโ€™ll be looking to sharpen moving forward. Nonetheless, a solid win and another step forward for the team.

Congratulations to Miley Burger and Antonio Adams on receiving  first team caps this weekend .

Other Results vs Priory:

Senior Hockey vs Framesby – Results

Friday, 16 May vs Framesby High School

We took on Framesby in what turned out to be a competitive fixture. Despite going 1โ€“0 down early in the match, the girls showed composure and stuck to our structure. A moment of brilliance from Nadine Murray brought us levelโ€”she picked up the ball just outside the halfway line, eliminated four defenders and finished confidently to equalise. From there, we settled into our structure, moved the ball well, and took control of the game. Our attacking intent and team cohesion saw us pull away to a commanding 5โ€“2 victory.
