Senior Rugby vs Andrew Rabie – Results

This past weekend, Union Highโ€™s 1st XV took on Andrew Rabie High School. The match ended in a disappointing 36โ€“7 defeat.

Andrew Rabie arrived well-prepared, having studied our previous games, and they executed their set plays with precision. They outperformed us in most areas of the game. The only real strength we showed was in the scrums, where our forwards competed with determination and held their ground.

Unfortunately, beyond the scrum, our performance fell short. We struggled with basic skills:
Too many dropped balls disrupted our attack.
Lineouts were repeatedly lost through errors.
Defenders drifted inside instead of staying on their man, leaving gaps that were exploited.
Penalty kicks failed to find touch, costing us valuable territory.

As individuals failed to carry out their roles, trust within the team broke down, and effort levels dropped. This was the most disappointing aspect of the performance.

The lesson is clear: rugby success depends on discipline, teamwork, and mastering the fundamentals. Catching, passing, defending properly, and smart kicking are non-negotiable. Following instructions and trusting one another will prevent results like this.

While the defeat was heavy, the strength shown in the scrums gives us a foundation to build on. If we recommit to the basics and play as a united team, Union High can bounce back stronger in the matches ahead.

Let us take this setback as a lesson, not a limitation โ€” and use it to fuel improvement and pride in the games to come.

More results:
U14 lost 6-0
U15 lost 3-49
U16 lost 6-38

Senior Hockey vs St Michaels and Hangklip – Results

Our First Team produced two dominant displays, recording a 6โ€“0 victory against St Michaelโ€™s and following it up with a convincing 7โ€“1 win over Hangklip.

Against St Michaelโ€™s, the girls produced a strong all-round performance where our structure looked solid against a competitive side. We controlled the tempo of the match well and made sure we capitalised on our opportunities.

In the second match against Hangklip, the girls started brilliantly and created numerous goal-scoring chances. However, frustration began to creep in as we failed to convert opportunities, which led to forcing passes and trying to create goals too quickly. Our final decision-making inside the circle was not at our usual standard. Despite this, the girls once again showed the strength and quality within our First Team.

Overall, it was a very positive weekend and a true team effort from every player involved. Well done to all the girls on their performances.

Standout players this weekend were: Antonio Adams, Katelyn Trollip, Misha Newton, Leigh-ann Murray and Abonani Matushe.
