Hockey, Sport Results

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.

First Team vs Oranje Meisies (Friday)
Final Score: UHS 1 – Oranje 5

The match started with great energy and focus from our girls, ending the first chukka 0-0. In the second chukka, we took the lead with a short corner goal from Mia Botha to make it 1-0. Unfortunately, a lapse in concentration and communication during the third chukka saw Oranje capitalize and take a 4-1 lead. They added a fifth goal in the final chukka, leaving the final score at 5-1 in their favour.

Despite the result, I want to commend the first team players for their outstanding effort in chukkas 1, 2, and 4. You not only competed against one of the top hockey schools in the country, you dominated them at times. I am incredibly proud of each and every one of you! Well done Kenza and team.

First Team vs St Michael’s School (Saturday)
Final Score: UHS 2 – SMS 0

While not our best performance, the team showed heart and stuck to the structure to secure a  victory. The scoreline doesn’t truly reflect the dominance we had throughout the match.

We created numerous scoring opportunities, earning 15 short corners, but only managed to convert two into goals. This is an area we will continue to work on. That said, credit must go to the girls for their persistence and composure under pressure.

Weekend Results Summary:

Friday:

• UHS 1st Team 1 – Oranje Meisies 5

Saturday:

• UHS 14A 0 – SMS 2

Well done to all our teams for representing UHS with pride and passion this weekend!
