Both boys gave it their best on the track and in the pool, enjoying a strong finish, with Ben winning the swimming event and Mark coming in third.

(Mark and Ben are in Grade 5 and 7, respectively.)

Union High School is extremely proud of these two biathletes and wish them all the best for the rest of their events this season!

In truth, not much really, but they could all be found at Union High School’s AstroTurf yesterday afternoon where a 𝗙𝗨𝗡 afternoon of 6-A-Side hockey was contested!

All the learners, from Grade 5 through to Grade 12 – boys and girls – had the opportunity to participate in the tournament.

A total of nine junior teams and nine senior teams entered. The games were played in a round-robin competition format throughout the course of the afternoon.

This proved to be a spectacularly fun afternoon with great participation from learners all-round.

(It was particularly entertaining to watch the educators and coaching staff take to the field.)

Rarely has our squad of players and all our staff looked forward to a season like this one. With everything that the country has been through in the past two years, we are so excited to be gearing up for a full cricket season and have a very real hope of the imminent return of our glorious supporters to cheer us on.

This high-performance training clinic was a wonderful opportunity for Tara to help her prepare for the Inter-Provincial Tournament against the Western Cape taking place this coming weekend, in which she’ll be representing the Eastern Province in the u/13 age category.
