It was with great anticipation and excitement that Union’s 1st team hockey girls travelled up to Bloemfontein this weekend for a set of hockey matches against some fierce opposition.

The team then took on Oranje Meisieskool’s 2nds early this morning. In what was a very entertaining match to watch, OMS managed to clinch a 4 – 2 win against Union.
Shortly afterwards, the girls went toe-to-toe against the Free State’s u/16A side. Although they were tuckered out from their encounter against Oranje, they still produced beautiful play, but suffered a 0 – 5 defeat in the end.

RUGBY

𝗪𝗘𝗟𝗟 𝗗𝗢𝗡𝗘 to our 1st XV on winning their encounter against Woodridge College & Preparatory School 29-10!
The match was a big arm wrestle from the start. Every scrum, line-out and ruck was an intense battle with the Union boys refusing to back down.
Woodridge scored the first try of the match through a rolling maul taking a 0 – 5 lead. A lot of unforced errors and pressure from Woodridge kept Union scoreless for most of the 1st half.
The Union team, however, found a bit of rhythm just before half time. Sustained pressure and good discipline led to a driving maul try scored by 𝗜𝘃𝗮𝗻 𝗠𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗮𝘆, taking the score to 5-all at half time.
The second half started with Woodridge scoring the first try, resulting in them taking a 5 – 10 lead. This was short lived, however, as Union responded almost immediately with a try through 𝗝𝘂𝗱𝗲 𝗟𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗱 after some slick handling from the backs and a dominant scrum by the forwards.
The boys then ran in a further three tries through 𝗔𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼 𝗖𝗲𝗸𝗶𝘀𝗼, 𝗦𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗽𝗵𝗼 𝗔𝗿𝗻𝗼𝗹𝘀 and 𝗟𝗼𝗻𝘄𝗮𝗯𝗼 𝗦𝗶𝘀𝗵𝘂𝗯𝗮.
𝗛𝗹𝗮𝗸𝗶 𝗦𝗸𝗲𝗽𝗲 converted two tries.
